In support and workshops, users often ask us **questions about the basics** of [Mergado](https://www.mergado.com/get-started). Whether you’re one of them or you’re new to using our tool, we’ve decided to create a **new series of articles** for you. Here you can find answers to many questions you may have when using Mergado. In the first part, we describe how **automatic data regeneration** works.

// Normalize heading text to remove diacritics, then replace non-alphanumeric characters with dashes

In support and workshops, users often ask us **questions about the basics** of [Mergado](https://www.mergado.com/get-started). Whether you’re one of them or you’re new to using our tool, we’ve decided to create a **new series of articles** for you. Here you can find answers to many questions you may have when using Mergado. In the first part, we describe how **automatic data regeneration** works.
## Answers to frequently asked questions on how to automatically regenerate data in Mergado
- ### Does Mergado generate feeds itself, or do I have to click manually somewhere?
Mergado feeds regenerate itself, **several times a day**.
- ### How often does Mergado regenerate data?
The answer can be found on the *Export History* page -> after filtering the *“Applying Rules”* event. The more often the input feed is changed, the more often Mergado tries to download data — and thus to regenerate.
- ### How (even temporarily) to stop automatic regeneration in Mergado?
Click *Settings* -> *General* -> here you find a button to **pause/resume** a paused regeneration.
- ### Can I set automatic regeneration to specific times?
No, you can’t.
- ### Is it possible to regenerate data manually?
**Yes**. The rules are still being applied on the *Rules* page. Other types of manual regeneration are available in *Settings* in the *Regenerate* section.
- ### Is it possible to speed up regeneration?
Yes. If you use [Bidding Fox Elements](https://www.mergado.cz/tema/bidding-fox-elements) with many active elements, the regeneration time **increases**. Keep **only** **those** elements that **you** **use** (used in queries, rules, etc.). Also, be sure to “add” the rules correctly, considering the complexity of their processing.
**See our miniseries:**

- [Set up Mergado effectively # 2: How to create rules correctly](https://www.mergado.com/set-up-mergado-effectively-2-how-to-create-rules-correctly)
- [Set up Mergado effectively # 3: The IN operator is better than OR](https://www.mergado.com/use-the-in-operator)
- ### Is it possible to regenerate only a part of the products or a specific product?
Yes. For the selected product, just **check the product tracking page** when passing through the rules on the Products page. From now on, you can regenerate this product, even if there are thousands of them in your feed.
- ### Can I cancel or stop the regeneration process?
Yes, just **click the appropriate button**, and the regeneration process will end. If the regeneration is not complete, the output feed can not be updated — so you **do not have to worry** about interrupting the regeneration if necessary.
- ### Can I leave the site that is being regenerated and click through elsewhere?
Yes, the regeneration process is **in the background**, and once it starts, you can easily click away, close the page, browser, or even shut down your computer.
- ### How can I find out how the last completed regeneration turned out?
By clicking on **the progress bar**, e. g. on the *Products* page, while the regeneration is in progress, you will be taken to the page with the current status or the result of the last regeneration.
We hope you find answers to everything you need to know about automatic data regeneration in this article.
