# Human in the Loop

If Aikido identifies more escalation potential for a finding, you can allow to continue the exploitation from the finding details.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Continuing exploitation can create or modify data and may disrupt parts of your application. We strongly recommend running this in a testing environment only.
{% endhint %}

### How to continue exploitation

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Open your finding details

Open a pentest issue in Aikido and go to **Attack Analysis**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Click "Exploit Further"

If the finding is eligible, you will see the button **Exploit Further**.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Review the updated analysis

Aikido starts a deeper follow-up run and updates the same finding with the latest escalation and retest results.

{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Aikido only shows **Exploit Further** when a finding is eligible for escalation. If you do not see this action, the finding is either not eligible, already escalated, or has no additional escalation potential.
