| Set run point | Starts manual Run executions from this step instead of the trigger. See Testing & Debugging. |
| Run from here | Starts a one-off test run at this action step while reusing the latest output or saved Testing data of earlier steps, without changing the automation’s run point. |
| Duplicate | Creates an exact copy of the step, configuration included. |
| Run for each item… | Available in the step card’s ⋮ menu; opens the per-item batch popover so the step runs once per item in a list. See Run for each item. |
| Disable / Enable | Skips the step on every run while leaving it on the canvas (reads Enable when off). Not offered on loop steps or empty placeholders; move the run point first if this step is the current run point. |
| Unlink | Removes the step’s connections while leaving the step itself in place. |
| Delete | Removes the step and its connections. |
