# Is it possible to handle errors or retry steps?

Use the Failed step handling dropdown in any MESA step Settings to choose what the workflow does when that step errors, including retrying the step.

Yes, you can access the options for error handling in the **Failed step handling** dropdown menu, which can be found in the Settings of any step:
