FAQPage Schema
How do I safely clear workflow tasks and sessions before starting fresh?

To safely clear workflow data, you can reset the .otto directory by selectively removing tasks, specs, or sessions. This process requires explicit confirmation before executing any destructive actions to prevent accidental data loss.

Can I purge specific workflow artifacts without deleting everything in the directory?

Yes, you can perform targeted resets to purge specific workflow artifacts like tasks or sessions individually. This selective clearing allows you to remove only the necessary data while preserving other files such as documentation.

What is the best way to recover from a corrupted workflow run?

Recovering from a corrupted workflow run requires a full reset of the .otto directory. This purges all tasks, specs, and sessions, providing a clean slate and reclaiming disk space for new automation runs.

How do I reset specs while keeping active sessions intact?

You can reset specs individually by selecting a targeted reset option that only clears the specs subdirectory. This leaves your active sessions and other workflow artifacts completely intact.

Does the reset process require confirmation for all destructive actions?

Yes, the reset process is safe by default and requires user confirmation before executing any destructive actions. This ensures you do not accidentally purge critical workflow data stored in the .otto directory.

When should I avoid using a full workflow data reset?

You should avoid a full workflow data reset when you need to preserve existing tasks, sessions, or specs for ongoing reference. Use selective clearing instead to avoid losing important workflow artifacts.
