# AI URL Scanner & Scan Jobs

### How to Scan a URL

1. Go to `/dashboard/admin/products`

### Understanding Your Scan Jobs

AI scans are handled by backend jobs, that means you can refresh or close the scan windows, the work will be done anyway.\
\
You can find them here : `/dashboard/admin/scan-jobs`

Each scan goes through these states:

* Pending: Waiting in line
* Processing: Currently being scanned
* Completed: Scan finished successfully
* Failed: Something went wrong

### The Scan Jobs Table

The table shows:

* URL you scanned
* Status of the scan
* Any errors that occurred
* Whether a product was created
* When the scan started and finished

* #### `Retry Failed Scans`

* #### `Review and create Products`

  For completed scans, click "Review and create Products" to add it to your directory.
* #### `Delete Jobs`

### Troubleshooting

If scanning fails:

* Make sure the URL is accessible
* Try a different product page
