# 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.
