Pipeline Manual run
By triggering the manual run option in your pipeline, you can export the data you have prepared to your destination. A manual run will run your pipeline on the existing data without refreshing, which means no new data will be imported.
Note: You can also use this option for dry runs and to test if your pipeline can be executed without any failures before automating the pipeline using a schedule or backfill run. However, please make sure you configure the pipeline for your testing environment, especially destinations as the transforms and export will happen for whichever data destinations are configured.
Info: A manual run will run on the latest version of the pipeline. A version is nothing but stages of the actions performed on a pipeline. If you want to do a manual run on any old version, you can restore the required version, and perform a manual run. Click here to know more about versions. To execute manual run in a pipeline

After data is imported, you will be redirected to the pipeline builder where you can see your data source, and a stage linked to it.
Stages are nodes created for processing data while applying data flow transforms. Every dataset imported from your data source will have a stage created by default.

5. Once you are done creating your data flow and apply necessary transforms in your stages, you can right-click a stage and add a destination to complete your data flow.
6. Data destination is a place where you want to export your data to. It can be your local database, business applications like Zoho CRM, Zoho Analytics, etc. You can choose your preferred destination out of 50+ data destinations in DataPrep to export your prepared data to.
