Hello,

I believe that it would run all the components again.  However, it has always 
been a goal of ours to use the provenance data captured during a previous run 
so that the user could select which components to run again and which to re-use 
previous run data.  But it is not something that you can do yet :(  Maybe it 
will be in a future release.

Cheers,

Ian
