Runs

Find, resume and review your playbook runs: what In progress and History show, how to stop and come back, and how to end or delete a run.

A run is one go through a playbook for one item or project. The Playbooks page, which opens from the sidebar, lists them and lets you start new ones.

#The Playbooks page

  • In progress lists runs you haven't ended. Each row shows the playbook, a status of In progress, what it's for (the item and project, or the project), how many steps are done and when you last did something.
  • Start a playbook has a card for each playbook. Launch has a Start a launch link. Rotate or renew, Leaked key and Sunset ask you to choose an item or project, then Start. Add a service starts from a project page instead.
  • History lists runs that are Completed or Abandoned, with when they ended.

Runs are listed newest first. If a run is in progress, the Start screen takes you back to it rather than starting a second one for the same item.

#Resume a run

Open the run from In progress and carry on. Your progress is saved after every step, so you can close the tab, lock your vault or come back days later. There's no time limit.

You can also resume from where you started it:

  • On an item, the button reads Resume rotation, Resume renewal or Resume leak response.
  • On a project, it reads Resume sunset.
  • On Home, launch steps that are waiting appear under Waiting on you, with Open launch. See Launch.

If a run was started on an older version of its playbook and can't continue, the run says so and offers Start a fresh run. A fresh run closes the old one once the new one has started. Steps you did in the old run aren't carried over, but what they changed stays changed: a value you saved stays saved.

#Read a run's history

Open a run from History to see what happened. A finished run shows a summary:

  • Rotate or renew and Leaked key list, for each item, whether the new value was saved, where it was sent and how (Sent to, Updated at ... by hand, or Not sent to ... (skipped)), whether the old value was revoked and the item's current reminder.
  • Sunset shows the monthly spend removed, the items deleted and the domains kept.
  • Launch shows the Launch report.

An abandoned run says how many steps were done and how many skipped, and that anything those steps changed stays changed.

Every run also has a Notes box where you can write down anything you want to remember. Notes are encrypted with the rest of the run.

#End a run

  • Finish closes a run as Completed. It is available once every required step is done and the rest are done or skipped. A run can't be reopened afterwards.
  • Abandon run closes it as Abandoned. Choose Yes, abandon to confirm. Steps you did stay done.
  • Delete run removes an ended run from the list. Items and projects it changed stay as they are. You can only delete a run that has ended.

#What StackHangar stores about a run

A run is saved encrypted in your vault, like an item. It holds progress, your notes and public details such as a launch's domain name. It never holds a key, a password or any value you pasted. The server sees only the opaque ID and send date of any step reminders you set. See What StackHangar can see.
