A notification will be displayed in the top-right corner with the results of the check. Each failed check will result in a separate subnotification, which you can individually visualize and/or raise to [issues](https://help.qonic.com/documentation/qonic-application/querying-and-reporting/issues-panel) by clicking the individual hand icons next to each subnotification. Alternatively, you can batch create issues for all failed checks by clicking the hand icon in the header of the notification.

There is a known issue where the same .ids file cannot be uploaded twice consecutively in the same session in the web browser. If this problem occurs, please refresh your page or open Qonic in the desktop application.
