Actions & Tools in iMazing
💡iMazing 3
This guide is not yet complete or updated for iMazing 3. An update will be available soon.
The actions panel is where you'll launch most common operations. Some like Restore trigger a wizard, others have immediate effect. The list of available actions depends on whether your sidebar selection is a device or a backup.
When iMazing's window is at its minimum size, some of the action buttons will not be visible until you scroll down.
Wizards
Wizards are easy to follow step-by-step assistants for the following operations:
- Backup a device
- Restore a backup to a device
- Transfer data from one device to another
- Manage apps on the device or in iMazing's Apps Library
💡Tip: At the end of each wizard, you will have the option to Close Window. Closing the window is perfectly safe: it will take you back to iMazing's main interface, and will not cancel your ongoing operation.
To view the status of ongoing and finished operations, open the Operations window.
