# Resuming a space
If a Space has been paused, either manually or automatically, it can be instantly resumed. Here's how to do it:
1. **Automatically Paused Spaces**: If your Space was paused due to the end of a session or inactivity, a "Resume Space" button will appear on the same screen. Simply click on this button to resume your Space.
2. **Manually Paused Spaces**: If you paused your Space manually, you'll be redirected to the home section. There, you will find the "Resume Space" button below the respective Space section. Click on it to start your Space again.
Pausing and resuming Spaces provides flexibility, allowing you to manage your cloud-based Linux environment according to your schedule and needs. Please remember to save your work before pausing your Space to prevent any data loss.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.neverinstall.com/spaces/resuming-a-space.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
