# Generate avatar

After doing edits to the avatar, submit the Draft avatar by clicking the **Create** button, as shown in the image below:

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/B7w9B72ei3PwzCHWs5IP" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

After the Draft avatar changes are submitted for an assessment, our system generates the avatar in background. Generally it takes a few minutes to generate the new avatar and you can check the status of the avatar by re-opening the Edit Avatar pane wherein a generating avatar animation can be observed at the top of the pane as below:&#x20;

Note that the avatar generation status is also visible as icons on the assessment activities as shown below:

The <mark style="color:blue;">**Blue**</mark>**&#x20;In Progress** icon is shown while the avatar video is being generated. The <mark style="color:green;">**Green**</mark>**&#x20;Draft** icon is shown when the avatar has successfully generated The <mark style="color:red;">**Red**</mark> Error icon is shown when there was an error while generating the avatar.&#x20;

Note that while an avatar is in the **In Progress** state, no new versions of the avatar can be created for the assessment or activity.

Further note that once the video generation is complete, an email notification will be sent to your registered email ID.
