# Progress Bar

The Progress Bar provides real-time updates on point cloud and annotation loading statuses, ensuring users are informed about the system's activities. It visually indicates the completion percentage for both point cloud rendering and annotation loading, offering clarity and transparency during the process.

With the help of visual cues, users can track the loading status of point clouds and annotations for each frame:

* **Little Black Box**: Indicates that annotations for the selected frame are fully loaded.
* **Little Grey Box**: Signals that point cloud loading has started for the frame.
* **Big Grey Box**: Confirms the point cloud has been completely loaded for the frame.

## Benefits

* **Enhanced Visibility**: Users can monitor the exact status of point cloud and annotation loading.
* **Improved User Experience**: Reduces waiting time by informing users when the frame (point cloud and annotations) is available to be rendered.

## Steps to Use the Progress Bar

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Initiate Loading

Open the frame or sequence you want to annotate. The progress bar will automatically appear and start updating.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Monitor Progress

* **Little Black Box**: Appears when annotations for a frame are fully loaded.
* **Little Grey Box**: Indicates that point cloud loading has started.
* **Big Grey Box**: Confirms the point cloud loading is complete for the frame.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Interpret Status

* **Little Black Box**: Annotations are loaded — wait for the point clouds.
* **Little Grey Box**: Wait for the point cloud to finish loading before proceeding.
* **Big Grey Box**: The frame is fully loaded, and you can now navigate to continue working seamlessly.
  {% endstep %}
  {% endstepper %}
