## 12.6. Reusing a Job’s Working Directory

### Start the Job from an Existing Job View

1. In the Job Monitor, select the job whose working directory you want to reuse to display the job view.

2. With the job view active, start a new job.

3. When setting up the new job, choose the Use working directory of current job option:

### Start the Job from an Existing Job Working Directory

1. Access the working directory that you want to reuse, either by clicking the Working Directory link in the job's Status view, or by navigating to the working directory on the File System page. (See Accessing a Job's Working Directory.)

2. When setting up the new job, choose the Use current directory option:

Note: The selected working directory will not be deleted until the last job that is using that directory is deleted.
