• Build and run the site.
• Click Add Jobs link to add multiple test jobs into the queue.
• Go to the Dashboard and click Run Server to run Shift server. Or select jobs and click Run Selected to run selected jobs.
• Use the Status & Progress link to view the running jobs in auto refreshing grid.
• Try other action buttons to see what Shift can do.

The Stop Cmd, Pause Cmd, Continue Cmd, and Run-Now Cmd buttons only marks the selected jobs for those actions. Shift server will pick up jobs and acted on them as marked. However if the jobs are manually started through Run Selected button, then you must manually use Process Commands action to execute the commands in the server process or nothing would happen to the background jobs.
