When this view is displayed, you will see the status of all the restore requests that have been submitted. 

after validating that your restore requests have been successfully completed, we still need to perform the synchronization step. in 
the main application toolbar, we want to click the “Synchronize Restored assets” button. 

this will associate each of the offline assets that are in your timeline with the correctly matching high-resolution restored asset. a 
dialog box will be displayed to show the status of this process. 

after this has been completed, all of the assets should be considered online. this means that none of the clips in the timeline 
should be displaying an orange line. now it is safe to perform a send or conform depending upon your needs.
