How to resume an interrupted step
If a step started and did not finish, a banner offers Continue, which picks up where it stopped in the same Claude conversation, or Start over. A run keeps going in the background if you leave the page.
Interruptions happen: a closed window, a lost connection or a sleeping computer. Nothing is lost because the project folder holds the files.
Steps
- 1
Reopen the project
Open the project from the sidebar and go to the step.
- 2
Read the banner
It says the step started earlier and did not finish.
- 3
Press Continue
The step resumes in the same Claude conversation, from where it stopped.
- 4
Or press Start over
Use this if you changed the inputs and want a clean run.
- 5
Check the result
When the step finishes, read the output as usual before approving.
Tips
Do not edit the project folder while a step is running
Use Stop run if you want to stop a step on purpose
Common mistakes
- Starting over when Continue would have kept the progress
Questions
Will I be charged again?
No. The credit was used when the project was created.
Can I leave the page during a run?
Yes. The run keeps going. Stop run keeps your progress.
Can I restart the manuscript?
No. Start over is not available for the manuscript. An interrupted manuscript run can be continued.
