Cancel a run

Cancel an open run and stop its attempt.

Prerequisites

An open run and project operator access or a higher role.

Procedure

1. Open the run drawer or run page and inspect the active attempt.
2. Select Cancel run, then Confirm cancel.
3. If the response says the parent task could not be stopped, restore the worker connection and check Needs attention. Reconciliation retries the stop every three minutes.

Check the result

The run closes as canceled after its attempt stops. Writable attempts push recoverable work to a salvage branch before cleanup. If a stop is unconfirmed, the checkout and slot remain reserved until reconciliation succeeds.

Polling unchanged item content starts no replacement run. Use Run again for succeeded or canceled work, and Retry for failed work. Canceling a succeeded or failed run preserves its outcome and returns a conflict.
