Rerun, Step Through, or Resume a Workflow

When the run pauses, a red control bar appears near the top of the canvas. Here's a screenshot that displays the Rerun From Node, Step, and Resume options.

• Rerun From Node: Restart the run from the currently selected node.
• Step: Run the next node and pause again.
• Resume: Continue the run until the next breakpoint or the end of the workflow.

Rerun From Node

Select Rerun From Node from the control bar, when the upstream work is already correct and you want to retest the current node and downstream nodes. Here's a list of typical uses:

• Retest a node after changing its configuration.
• Replay a data, tool, or service call without repeating earlier intent extraction.
• Retest the final summarization after confirming the retrieved data.
• Continue debugging from a paused node using the current context.

Before using Rerun From Node, inspect the selected node's input. If the input is incorrect, rerunning from that node will reproduce the same problem. In that case, go upstream and fix the node that produced the incorrect input.

Step Through a Workflow

Use Step when you need to inspect every handoff. This pattern is useful between a payload-generation node and a data, tool, or service node, where the upstream output must match the downstream node's expected input shape.

1. Go to AI Agent Studio and open the Workflows tab.
2. Select Edit to modify a workflow.
3. From the toolbar, select Debug .
4. Enter a prompt in Ask Oracle and submit it to run the workflow.
5. Let the run pause at a node.
6. Select the last node that was run.
7. Inspect Input, Output, and Context.
8. Select Step .
9. Inspect the next node.
10. Repeat until you understand the handoff.
11. Select Resume after completing the step-by-step inspection.

Resume Run

Select Resume from the control bar, when the current state looks correct and you want the workflow to continue. The workflow runs until it reaches the next breakpoint or it completes.
