# Restart an instance

> Ensure instances can be restarted.

## Objective

Ensure an admin user can restart an existing instance and verify the restart is successful.

## Prerequisites

* You must have a valid admin account. If you do not have credentials, please request them from your system administrator.
* At least one instance must already exist.

## Steps

1. Log in to the Papyrus app as an admin and navigate to the home section with the instances list: [https://papyrus.hownee.com/app/home](https://papyrus.hownee.com/app/home)
   * *Screenshot needed: Instances list page before restart.*

2. Select the instance you wish to restart. Please specify the instance name below:

   ```
   [Insert instance name here]
   ```

3. Click the **Restart** button or similar action for the selected instance.
   * *Screenshot needed: Restart confirmation dialog or progress indicator.*

4. Wait for the system to process the restart. This may take a few minutes.
   * *Video recommended: Record the restart process and confirmation of completion.*

5. Once the system responds, verify that the instance status reflects the restart and that it is accessible.
   * *Screenshot needed: Instance details page after restart.*

## Expected Results

* The instance is successfully restarted and remains accessible.
* If the restart fails, an appropriate error message is displayed (please capture a screenshot if this occurs).
