# Jump to an earlier step

> Jumps back to an earlier step, a limited number of times (3 by default, 500 at most); when the limit is used up, the run goes on.

## Behaviour

| Property | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Group in the editor | Utility |
| Retries | A step is not retried. If it fails (a step error, an HTTP answer that is not 2xx…), the run ends as failed and is not retried on its own, unless the step sits inside a «Try» step, which catches the failure so the run goes on. Only failures of the engine itself are retried, up to 3 attempts with waits of 30 and 60 seconds, and the retry skips the steps already completed. |
| Repeated runs | Not protected by the step itself; the journal of the run stops a completed step from running twice. |
