When it is a complete, it will flash for a moment and they you will see the page image without a circle around it.

Moodle Backup Download Folder Rename the course Leave “.mbz” in the name Move it to the folder you created. It will have downloaded to your download folder. Go to your download folder and sort by date so that this file will be at the top or towards the top of your document list in the download folder. We recommend renaming the file to a concise name. For this example, we recommend ART 2010 Summer 2017 (You do not have to do the semester or year but if you remember the section you downloaded the course from, then this labeling may be helpful in the future.) Right click on the file name and select “Rename.”
