A background task is work that runs while you do other things. A result that asks for approval is now classed as blocked, along with what it needs. Results that are out of date are left alone.\n\n**Why**\n\nTasks that are waiting for you to approve something may now show as blocked instead of looking as if they are still running.\n\n- Area: Background Tasks\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5"}
