Why Should a Progress Operation be Used?

A Progress Operation is the preferred way to let the user track an asynchronous background operation from anywhere in the portal.

When Should a Progress Operation be Used?

Whenever a background operation is underway (e.g. adding a new resource, changing configuration, etc.) an Extension should show a Progress Operation and let the user get back to performing other tasks in the portal.
