# Advanced Run Once

Automation Studio includes options to schedule an automation, run it automatically when a file is dropped, or run an automation once. Use Advanced Run Once to run only a portion of an automation.

Use Advanced Run Once to run only a portion of the automation, or to restart the automation from an activity that follows an errored activity. Or fix a single activity that errors and run that activity only. Select an entire step, individual activities, or any combination of steps and activities. Run a subset of activities you select by clicking **Run Once** in an automation, then selecting the activities to run.

## Considerations

- Only scheduled automations support Advanced Run Once.
- The last run's result appears in the right pane. Select the activities to run, then confirm the activities that you want to run before the automation's run begins.
- Users can select an entire step, individual activities, or any combination of steps and activities.
- To run an entire automation once without selecting or deselecting activities, hover over the automation's name on the Automation Overview page and click **Run Once**.
- Notification settings are carried over from the automation-level notification settings.
- Notification Settings are edited on an automation’s Activity tab, not in the Run Once Confirmation modal. Notification email addresses appear in the modal for reference only.

![The Run Once Confirmation Modal shows activities that will run in one column and those that won't in another, and email notification settings.](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-mktg-mc_journeys_and_automations-264-0-0-production-enus/e08cdd71-c1c1-4ae5-a5e9-8a6dad583ad4/mc_journeys_and_automations/images/mc_as_adv_run_once_confirmation.png)

Note The hierarchy of statuses is important. Not Selected is an option for Run Once automations only. So if a user sees Completed status, that could mean that only the selected activities in the step completed. Activities that were not selected did not complete, or run at all.
