We recommend that initial ingestions be done on an album-by-album basis. This will familiarise you with the process and allow you to understand the normal upload speeds for your location. Once you have a good understanding of the process we recommend larger manifests.
If there are any errors with your ingestion, the album will appear in [Ingestion Manager ](https://scribehow.com/shared/Troubleshooting_the_Ingestion_Manager_and_Error_Handling_on_Harvest_Media__dbQ5Mjr9QImBJ0d8wFy7sw)
