# Debug executions

{% hint style="info" %}
**Feature availability**

Available on n8n Cloud and registered Community plans.
{% endhint %}

You can load data from a previous execution into your current workflow. This is useful for debugging data from failed production executions: you can see a failed execution, make changes to your workflow to fix it, then re-run it with the previous execution data.

## Load data <a href="#load-data" id="load-data"></a>

To load data from a previous execution:

1. In your workflow, select the **Executions** tab to view the **Executions** list.
2. Select the execution you want to debug. n8n displays options depending on whether the workflow was successful or failed:
   * For failed executions: select **Debug in editor**.
   * For successful executions: select **Copy to editor**.
3. n8n copies the execution data into your current workflow, and [pins the data](/build/work-with-data/pin-and-mock-data.md) in the first node in the workflow.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Check which executions you save**

The executions available on the **Executions** list depends on your [Workflow settings](/build/manage-workflows/configure-workflow-settings.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.n8n.io/build/understand-workflows/understand-executions/debug-executions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
