Hi, I’m trying lots of extraction in [data.terrapop.org](http://data.terrapop.org), and sometimes regret sending certain extract requests. Is it possible for you to add a button to cancel/terminate the submit requests while they’re being processed? ---

Here are some tips for exploring data in IPUMS Terra: - You can determine a lot of information about data availability by inspecting the availability grids in the data selection screens for microdata and area-level data. - Use our map-based interface [TerraScope](https://data.terrapop.org/terrascope) to explore data values and visualize raster data before downloading anything. - If you are uncertain about how data from a particular type of extract will be represented in the output, you may want to request a small sample extract with just one or two datasets and variables. We are not currently doing active development on IPUMS Terra. So, while a button to cancel a request is a good idea, we won’t be able to add it any time soon. If you would like a request cancelled, you can email ipums@umn.edu with the extract number, and note that it is an IPUMS Terra extract.
