# Check updates

You can check the status of data creation and update requests at different stages of the process.

## Check the intent

You can check the status of an intent, details of the policy applied, and the stage it has reached in the workflow.

To check your intent:

1. Navigate to **Intents**. The status of your intent is displayed in the **Status** column.
2. Click the intent to view more information, for example:
  - Why an intent failed.
  - The intent's progress through the workflow.


## Check the entity

Once the intent is successfully approved, navigate to the corresponding entity menu in the UI and check that the entity was created or updated as expected.

When you perform accounting transactions with a transaction order or transfer order, Ripple Custody generates accompanying internal transaction and transfer entities. You can find more information on the transaction by checking the underlying transaction and transfer entities created for the transaction on the blockchain.

For more information about the different entities associated with transaction and transfer orders, see:
