# Debugging Nextflow
Available in `latch >= 2.53.8`
To enable developers to easily debug failed Nextflow workflows on Latch, the Latch SDK provides support
for inspecting the contents of an execution's work directory. This allows users to inspect/create/update
files in the work directory and relaunch the workflow using the updated state.
*Note: Once an execution's work directory has expired, it can no longer be inspected. See [Caching and Resuming](/workflows/sdk/nextflow/caching) for information
on how to extend the expiration of an execution's work directory.*
To get started, verify that you are using `latch >= 2.53.8`.
```bash theme={null}
latch --version
```
To debug an execution, run the following command:
```bash theme={null}
latch nextflow attach
```
This will prompt you to select the name of the execution you wish to debug:
After selecting an execution, the Latch SDK will connect you to a container containing the contents of that execution's work directory.
The work directory is mounted under `/nf-workdir` inside the container. Once you are connected, you can inspect, create, and/or update
files. Any changes made inside the container will be reflected in the work directory of the execution.
