 ## [UNRELEASED]
 
-
+- Add progress messages to LGTM download option. This makes the two-step process (selecting a project, then selecting a language) more clear.
 - Remove line about selecting a language from the dropdown when downloading database from LGTM. This makes the download progress visible when the popup is not expanded. [#894](https://github.com/github/vscode-codeql/issues/894)
-
 - Fixed a bug where copying the version information fails when a CodeQL CLI cannot be found. [#958](https://github.com/github/vscode-codeql/pull/958)
