# Tasks, Staging and Records

> The staging area as a safe copy, one Task per upload and object, the statuses, and typed rows versus file rows.

> **Draft brief for authors.** Replace with the final text; keep the concept-page structure.

**Contains:** the staging area as a safe copy of what will change; one Task = one upload into one object; the statuses of Tasks and records; typed rows (an assistant's upload: exactly the fields each row names) versus file rows (every column of the file), the Fields in Row column.

**Related information:** `task-lifecycle`, `row-actions`, `fields-cleared-in-sap`.
