Handle GEDCOM upload errors
The first time I tried to upload a GEDCOM file, it had been generated incorrectly and was 0 bytes long. My bad.
But instead of telling me that the upload failed, the upload dialog just spun forever. Since this is a dialog that can indeed take a few minutes, that's a bad time to leave a user hanging.
When I looked at the javascript console, I saw an error message "400 upload failed". But the poor user was never going to be informed of this.
Please make sure that an empty or bogus GEDCOM file upload results in an error message to the user instead of an infinite spinner. Thanks!

In my recent successful upload of over 45,000 individuals it showed that I had 32 "Upload Errors." How can I view these specific errors and correct and/or delete them?

I found the listed errors on my CET and resolved them as best as I could. Thank you.

Clayton, We have designed a much improved error resolution panel and hope to deploy that in coming months. It will slide in from the right hand side. A users will be able to click each person to jump to them in the tree and resolve the error, while the errors remain visible in the right side panel. Users will also be able to mark errors as resolved and filter to those that have not yet been corrected so they can more easily track progress across work sessions.
