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:
Notification via email to users on successful checkpoint/restore
Restoring with the same jobID as was initially submitted
Support for modifying restore properties (changing assigned SLURM resources)
