File conversion times
File conversion requests can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours to process. Conversion time is heavily dependent on both the size of the content being converted, and the type of content it's being converted into.
3. Click the Close button.
When the requested content is done converting, the user who requested the conversion will receive an email with a download link to the converted file.
A notice will also be posted in the requester's Notifications in AsULearn, with a download link.
