# Rerun a scan

> Create a new scan with the same configuration as the specified scan. The new scan is a full pentest. In the background, a separate retest scan also verifies the open issues of the specified scan, in its own sandbox and with its own agent, so the full pentest does not know the old issues. An open issue that the retest scan does not reproduce is set to `fixed`. Read the retest scan through `GET /scans/{scanId}/retests` on the specified scan. For retry-safe at-most-once creation, send an Idempotency-Key and reuse the exact same key and request after a lost or ambiguous response. The key is optional for backward compatibility, retained for 24 hours, and cannot be reused with a different actor, operation, or source scan. A terminal response is replayed only after the caller still passes current source-scan authorization; revoked access returns a fresh 403/404 without exposing the receipt. Use a new key only for a deliberate new rerun.
