Hi Miya,

Do you have 10 queue items? if yes, typically you would want to set the current queue item as completed before moving to the next item.

if you have 10 files and while adding to the queue you should have 10 items assuming the key as the file name/file path. when doing get next item for 1st time you will get the file1 data and post-processing your work on the file1 bot should either mark as complete or mark as an exception or differ that item for some time. then only when you run the action get next item again it will pick the other items/files.

Without doing Mark as Complete/Exception or differ, if you unlock the item post-processing or when you got an exception when you do get next item it will pick that item again and again

You must ensure that the item was completed successfully or with exception, only then it will be unable to be reprocessed. Also make sure the logic for getting a new item is correct.
