# ExecutionContext.progress

```python
def ExecutionContext.progress(label: str | None = None) -> ProgressUpdate
```

Create or return a progress indicator for the currently executing task.

Progress updates are attached to the task result and are visible in job execution state. Calling `progress` again with the same label returns the same progress indicator.

## Parameters

**label**

`str | None`

Optional label for the progress indicator. Empty strings are treated as `None`.

## Returns

A `ProgressUpdate` object for tracking total and completed work.

        download(scene)
        progress.done(1)
```
