Click the **Go to sharkGrid administration to monitor for completion** link. **My Pending scanTasks** will display the spot map you just worked on.

Each scan will show the results of two algorithms: [Modified Groth and I3s](../introduction/image-analysis-pipeline.md#modified-groth-and-i3s-spot-pattern-matching). The match score for Modified Groth means that the higher the score, the more likely the match is a correct one. For I3s, it’s the opposite: the higher the score, the less likely the match is a correct one.
