# Record from here

You do not need to record from scratch every time! Need that in the middle of an existing test? No problem!  ✨

You can start recording from any step in an existing test. Go to the test details and:

1. Hover on a step you want to record from
2. Click `+` icon
3. Click `Record from here` option
4. The recording window will open, and the test will run until the given step
5. The recording mode will activate, and you can continue recording new steps *from here*

All newly recorded steps will be automatically added to a test without any extra confirmation and will have a `NEW` badge, as shown in the screenshot below.

### Changing the recording position

BugBug also allows you to **change the current recording position**. To do this, drag & drop the recording position from the web app UI.

This feature lets you record new steps in multiple test positions within a single recording session. If you want to pause the recording to set your application state manually and continue recording again, you can do this by clicking `Pause` button, and then you can continue recording by clicking the `Record` button.&#x20;

You can also continue recording from the current end of a test case - just click the button `Record from here` at the end of a test. Newly recorded steps will appear in the new group.&#x20;

### Resume execution after recording new steps

BugBug allows you to resume executing the test after recording without starting the test from the beginning. This awesome feature significantly reduces the time spent on fixing the test.

The common scenario looks like this:

* Record new steps inside the test
* Pause recording
* Change playback position before newly recorded steps
* Resume a test

You can repeat the record and replay sequence as many times as you like. Enjoy BugBug's flexibility!
