Rerunning And Cancelling Reviews

What this page is for

This page explains the difference between rerunning a review and cancelling one so you use the right action for the right problem.

When to use it

Read this when:

• a review failed and you are deciding how to recover
• a queued review should not continue
• you want a new result set for a customer without rebuilding the whole context

How the actions differ

Rerun

Use rerun when you want a fresh review for the same customer.

That is usually the right move when:

• the previous review failed
• the Azure environment changed
• the earlier review is now stale

Rerun takes you back into the review flow with the existing context already known.

Cancel

Use cancel when the current queued review should not continue.

That is usually because:

• it was queued by mistake
• the scope was wrong
• the operator wants to stop before it progresses further

What to expect

Rerun creates a new review workflow from the existing context. Cancel stops the current one. They solve different problems and should not be treated as substitutes.

Common mistakes

• using rerun when the problem is really queue health
• using cancel as if it were a cleanup tool for completed history
• queueing another review before understanding why the last one failed
