# Postponed tasks

> Postponed tasks on the Web Verification Station: view tasks you started but did not complete, resume processing, or return a task to the shared queue.

Postponed tasks are tasks whose processing was started by an Operator but not completed. An Operator can postpone the current task by clicking the <img src="https://mintcdn.com/abbyy/XVEmG3cTpHwMKf5X/images/flexi-capture/Verification_ButtonTaskDelay.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=XVEmG3cTpHwMKf5X&q=85&s=05f3cd0b6d14369f1d3a46ea562c1c4c" alt="Postpone task button" style={{display:"inline-block",verticalAlign:"middle",margin:0}} width="37" height="36" data-path="images/flexi-capture/Verification_ButtonTaskDelay.png" /> button on the task toolbar.

To see the postponed tasks, click the **Postponed Tasks** button at the top of the web station page.

You can select a task from the list based on the following properties:

* Task ID
* Date and time created
* Batch name
* Comment
* When the task was postponed
* Place in the queue
* Task priority

To start processing a task, click its ID.

<Tip>
  Process postponed tasks first, because they are not available to other Operators. If a postponed task is not processed for a long time, it slows down processing of the whole batch.
</Tip>

To return a postponed task to the queue and make it available to other Operators, take the task into processing and click the <img src="https://mintcdn.com/abbyy/XVEmG3cTpHwMKf5X/images/flexi-capture/Verification_ButtonTaskCansel.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=XVEmG3cTpHwMKf5X&q=85&s=4dabb19ff2141d155d40418448c07c53" alt="Cancel task button" style={{display:"inline-block",verticalAlign:"middle",margin:0}} width="33" height="38" data-path="images/flexi-capture/Verification_ButtonTaskCansel.png" /> button on the task toolbar.
