Re-run an Import

Re-running processes a file from the beginning: staging it again, re-validating every row, and promoting what passes.

Before You Start

Fix the cause first. Re-running an unchanged file against an unchanged mapping produces the same result.

Re-running needs the uploaded file, so Re-run is offered only until that file is purged under the retention window. After that, upload the file again.

Re-run

1. In the sidebar, select Batches, then the Import Batches tab.
2. Find the run and open its row menu. On the run’s own page, the Re-run button in the header does the same.
3. Select Re-run.
4. At Re-run Import?, select Re-run. The toast names the task it re-queued, such as “Import re-queued as task #41”.

Result: the file is processed again in place of the previous run, and its review items replace the old ones.

If the import is still queued or running, the re-run is refused with “already queued or running”. Wait for it to finish, then try again.

What Re-running Changes

Rows that already promoted are matched rather than duplicated, so a re-run repairs a partial import instead of doubling it. Review items from the superseded run go with it: decisions you made on those rows do not carry across, because the rows themselves are being read again.

Caution

If the earlier run promoted rows you did not want, re-running does not remove them. Correct or remove those records directly.
