The +Upload Feed button and Diagnostics button get disabled till the uploading is in progress.

The products are fetched from this link periodically. Set a periodic schedule for your upload. Multiple schedule types are supported.
For any schedule type, set a start time for products upload to start from the specified url in the From field. Please enter the start time in UTC 24 hour format. For instance, if you’re in India and wish to start periodic upload at 6:06 pm, then you should specify the time as 12:36 and for 7:06 pm, you should specify 13:36.
Schedule type Hourly: Choose your desired frequency for upload to repeat from the same url in the Repeat field, e.g. Every hour, every 8 hours etc.
