Once the render has started you will start to see the frames complete, this is indicated by the frame square turning to orange on completion, you will also see an indicator of the frame progress simulated with a grey progress bar.

You can individually click on each frame to check its output and make sure the frame is correct, if you notice an error you can re-render the frame or request a new node if the frame is taking longer than expected.

Once the frames have been completed and you are happy with the results you can view each frame by clicking or by playing the video of the preview, in order to download the full and final render you need to Approve All Frames.
