# Pausing/Resuming

### Pausing and Resuming Transfer Jobs

Transfer jobs in Movebot can be safely **paused and resumed at any time**, giving you full control over the migration process.

***

#### How to Pause and Resume a Job

* To **pause** a job that is currently running, click **Cancel/Pause Migration** in the job menu.
* To **resume**, open the same job and click **Resume Job / Rerun Failures**.

When resumed, Movebot will **pick up where it left off**.

You can pause and resume migrations as often as needed without affecting already transferred data.

***

#### ⚠️ Keep in Mind

If you click **Start Full Migration, Start Delta Migration,** or **Start Data Only Migration** instead of \
**Resume Last Action / Rerun Failures**, the job will **start from scratch**, requiring a re-scan of all previously scanned data. 

Always use **Resume Last Action / Rerun Failures** to avoid unnecessary duplication and preserve your job's progress.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.movebot.io/using-movebot/transfer-execution-and-cutover/pausing-resuming.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
