# Resume Paused Data Scans

Pick up where you left off by resuming scans that stopped, skipped, timed out, or completed with errors to finish scanning records that weren’t scanned yet. Resumed scans use the settings from the initial run even if your policy configurations changed.

**Where:** This change applies to Lightning Experience (not available in all orgs) in Enterprise, Unlimited, and Developer editions with the Salesforce Shield or Data Detect Licenses.

**When:** This functionality is available starting in October 2026.

**How:** To resume a scan, click **Resume Scan** from the scan's policy page.
