# Automation

In most cases, the end user will likely *not* be using the UI to manually checkpoint/restore workloads - as most end users are researchers and not the sysadmins that have access to the UI. 

Cedana offers a seamless automation where the user does not have to think about the underlying checkpointing at all. The preemption signal is intercepted, which triggers a checkpoint. Cedana then automatically requeues a restore into the same queue that was submitted. 

This video highlights for example how the automation works without touching the UI:

Some things in the pipeline to help as well:&#x20;

* Notification via email to users on successful checkpoint/restore&#x20;
* Restoring with the same jobID as was initially submitted&#x20;
* Support for modifying restore properties (changing assigned SLURM resources)&#x20;
* Support for restoring into a different queue&#x20;
