Manual Run Mode provides you with the ability to explicitly prevent a block from running automatically. This feature gives you the opportunity to make a series of iterative upstream changes to your notebook without automatically running downstream blocks which could be computationally expensive and time consuming. Manual Run
  1. Right-click and select Manual Run Mode. This activates the feature and a flag displaying a pause icon appears on the exterior of the block. If you hover over the pause icon, a tooltip will appear reading “Manual Run Mode”.
  2. Make a change to a block upstream that is connected to the block you applied the Manual Run Mode to downstream. Once the upstream block has been changed, the block with the Manual Run Mode applied to it will change its icon to a play button.
Tip: If you have multiple blocks with Manual Run Mode applied to them and they are interconnected to one another in the notebook, you can either Run each block one at a time or you can choose to Run the most downstream block, which will trigger all upstream blocks to Run too.
