# Keep a run in the product

POST https://api.cloudraker.com/v1/runs/{id}/keep
Content-Type: application/json

Promotes a temporary run into your workspace so it stops being temporary.

Keeping a run moves its files and outputs into a real space, re-indexes them for search, imports definition-bound extraction results as records, and clears the TTL — `expiresAt` becomes `null`.

**Two ways to name the destination:**

```json
{ "spaceId": "spc_01JQ8ZKMRT4V6WXYZ0ABCDEFGH" }
```

```json
{ "space": { "name": "Q3 invoices" } }
```

The response carries `dashboardUrl` — the space as a person would open it.

<Note>
Keeping is idempotent for the same space, but keeping into a *different* space answers `409 already_kept`. A run that is still going answers `409 pipeline_running` — wait for [the run](https://docs.cloudraker.com/api/cloud-raker-api/runs/get-run) to finish first.
