# Resume Sessions

> Continue previous agent work from a stopped session or branch.

Resume a session when you want to continue previous agent work instead of starting from scratch.

## Resume from the picker

Run resume with no argument to open an interactive picker of stopped sessions across worktrees:

```bash theme={null}
entire session resume
```

After you choose a session, Entire checks out the related branch, restores the session log if needed, and asks whether to start the agent.

## Resume from a branch

If you already know the branch, pass it directly:

```bash theme={null}
entire session resume BRANCH
```

Entire finds the session ID from checkpoint-linked commits on that branch.

## Force resume from an older checkpoint

Use `--force` when you need to resume from an older checkpoint without confirmation:

```bash theme={null}
entire session resume BRANCH --force
```

<Warning>
  If newer commits without checkpoints exist on the branch, resume can reset Git state to the most recent commit with a checkpoint. Entire prompts before doing this unless you force it.
