How do I find the file that gave an error?
There are a couple of ways to find which file ran into some trouble during the download and what the error was, and to retry downloading it.
Error Status Bar
When a file encounters an issue and fails to download, at the bottom of the app a red status bar with the message "Some of your files failed to download. Click here to view error" will appear.
Clicking on the bar will cause a pop up to appear. This will list all the titles that had a file that encountered an error.
This will list a basic error message and the title name.
If you would like to retry downloading the file, then you can click on the title to go to the title information page. Once there look for the file with a darker gray bar and a retry button (white circle with a blue curved arrow in it.). Then click the retry button to attempt to download the file.
Error Icon
If you already know which title had the file with an error, you can filter your library down to that title. Once you find it you should see the error icon 
where the download icon used to be. If you click on the error icon, right above it will appear the type of error the file ran into.
If you would like to retry downloading the file, then you can click anywhere on the title bar or cover image to go to the title information page. Once there look for the file with a darker gray bar and a retry button (white circle with a blue curved arrow in it.). Then click the retry button to attempt to download the file.
Using the logs
MacOS and Windows user can also use the Library Client's log to search for errors as well. Just find your log. Open it in your preferred text file reader. Then search for Error or the file if you know which one had trouble.
