  3. Toggle the Hide Log/Show Log button to hide and reveal the activity log (5).
  4. Click the Retrieval and Deployment tabs to reveal the relevant controls for retrieval and deployment respectively.
  5. The Log pane records all actions and any problems that have been encountered. There are separate logs for retrieval and deployment.
  6. Click the Clear Log button to empty the log.
