There are lots of ways to run a workspace partially and you have discovered some of them. If you right-click a selected transformer you'll find the options to "Run from this" (unless it's the last one), "Run to this" (unless it's the first one) and "Run just this" (if it's possible with the selected transformer). If you select several transformers you'll get run options relevant for them, like "Run between selected".

 

 

On a larger scale you get the corresponding options for bookmarks, where you can run things that are contained in the bookmark. That's probably where you found your "Run just contained" etc.

 

 

Hope this helped!

Hi @sanna,

Building on @danullen's excellent answer, all of the Run to, from, etc. options are used to partially run a workspace which goes hand in hand with feature caching

Feature caching allows you to inspect what your data looks like from any object on the canvas - check out this blog article if you are interested in learning more about feature caching and how to use it. Additionally, the About Feature Inspection documentation is also a great place to find detailed descriptions about each of the partial run options and working with data caches.

Thank you!
