4. After media have been successfully uploaded, press "x" to close the menu.
   * If some files failed to upload, they will be highlighted in red if there were problems with the file type or size, or in yellow if the upload is incomplete. For incomplete uploads, click the "Retry uploads" button to retry uploading the affected files.

5. Media will appear in the dashboard pre-selected for [batch tagging](/pinpoint-guide/user-guides/desktop-laptop/tagging.md#bulk-tagging) and edits if required.
   * If AI facial recognition was enabled, relevant tags are automatically generated for media upon upload via [AI tagging](/pinpoint-guide/user-guides/desktop-laptop/tagging.md#ai-tags). Note that you may have to deselect and reselect the recently uploaded media for AI tags to appear.
   * If media were uploaded via folder upload, tags will be inferred and generated from the folder's structure. For example, a file with the path `Project A/Camera B/2024/image.png` will have the tags "Project A", "Camera B" and "2024".
