# Restart

The **Restart** action allows you to re-execute a failed workflow run from the beginning.
All previous step results are discarded, and the workflow executes from scratch using the original configuration and initial payload.

This approach is ideal when:

* Previous step results are no longer relevant.
* The failure was caused by corrupted or inconsistent state.
* You need a completely fresh execution with updated or clean data.

You can perform this action programmatically as well:

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript TypeScript theme={null}
  import { Client } from "@upstash/workflow";

  const client = new Client({ token: "<WORKFLOW_TOKEN>" });

  await client.dlq.restart({
    dlqId: "dlq-12345",
    retries: 3,
  });
  ```
</CodeGroup>
