After selecting a project, the Software Update module appears.

The Software Update module includes a list of runnable tasks for edge devices. This module also contains a **Current (#)** tab to view `PENDING` or `RUNNING` tasks and a **History (#)** tab to view `COMPLETED` or `ERROR` (failed) tasks.

You can add a software task, run a task, cancel a task, or view info about current and previous tasks.
