By default, in Updates History you will be in the "Batches" tab:

All types of batches will appear here--sent, pending, and draft batches. The column headings are defined as follows:

Batch name - The name of the updates batch that was pushed through.

Module - The module that an update was delivered from.

Provider - The provider of that batch.

Creator - The user within your organization that created the batch.

Sender - The user that pushed the batch through.

Status - This will either be sent, pending, or draft. "Sent" means the batch went through successfully, "Pending" means it is still in progress, and "Draft' means your batch has been saved but not sent through yet.

Created - When the batch was created.

Modified - When the batch was last resent, with modifications.

Sent - When the batch initially pushed through.

You can hover your mouse cursor over any dates to see the respective timestamp as well. To eliminate any column headings from view, click the "Columns" button:

Then, select or de-select any of the column headings to adjust your view settings:

Then, click "Save". By default, every column heading is selected. You can see the titles included in a batch by clicking its name

You will be taken to the "Batch items" tab, which will have all your titles' information, line by line, for the updates being pushed through that specific batch:

You can also take a batch that already exists, and add the same avail information for those titles with new or unchanged metadata to a new batch by clicking the ellipses to the far right of a batch name. There, click "Re-update":

You will then be taken back to the Create Updates (1.0) to push your update through again, with whatever new information you wish to add.

At the following page, you can change your metadata before adding these updates to a batch:

For any updates that failed, you can click on the three ellipses and select "Fix failed updates":

The following screen will show you what specific metadata failed to go through, and it will be highlighted in red:

There are a number of reasons an update might have failed: the price might not exist at the retailer, the EST end date is before the start date, and more. In Batch Items, you will be able to see what the error was exactly, since the UI provides that exact information. 

For any batches that are still in draft status, clicking the name of the batch will take you back to the Create Updates (1.0) module, where you can continue where you left off in finishing your batch. Or, while in Updates History on the Batches tab, you can click the ellipses to the far right and hit "Delete" to remove it:
