# Automation Details

After creating an automation, you can view additional information and manage its activity from the **Automation Details** page.

To access the Automation Details page:

1. Navigate to **Automations**.
2. Click the name of the automation you want to view.

The Automation Details page provides a summary of your automation's activity and status, including the following.

***

**Automation Status**

<div align="left" data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/me0U4wIoh77MQyfqr2Ca" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

View whether the automation is currently active or inactive. You can enable or disable the automation directly from this page.

***

**Last Run and Next Run**

<div align="left" data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/TMIG8GAknETePY4Ms0tV" alt="" width="413"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

At the top of the page, Feedotter displays:

* The date and time of the most recent automation run
* The date and time of the next scheduled run

This information can help verify that your automation is running as expected.
