-workorder-recheck
-=================
-
-.. dfhack-tool::
-    :summary: Recheck start conditions for a manager workorder.
-    :tags: fort workorders
-
-Sets the status to ``Checking`` (from ``Active``) of the selected work order.
-This makes the manager reevaluate its conditions. This is especially useful
-for an order that had its conditions met when it was started, but the requisite
-items have since disappeared and the workorder is now generating job cancellation
-spam.
-
-Usage
------
-
-::
-
-    workorder-recheck
-
-Overlay
--------
-
-The position of the "request re-check" text that appears when a workorder
-conditions window is open is configurable via `gui/overlay`.
