Prefect Community

Hey prefect peeps, if a flow fails midway (say task 3 of 5) are we able to retry that task in order to get the flow to succeed or do we need to retry the entire flow from the beginning again?

You can set the task to automatically retry after a delay up to a maximum number of retries. You can also restart the flow such that it will restart from that failed task.
