    Implement ``on_failure`` to handle cleanup in case of pipeline failure.
    Cleanup of downloaded archives or cloned repos is necessary to avoid potential resource leakage.
 
+.. tip::
+
+   Set ``run_once`` to ``True`` if pipeline is meant to be run once.
+
+   - To rerun onetime pipeline, reset ``is_active`` to ``True`` via a migration, pipeline will
+     run one more time and then deactivate.
+
+   - To convert a onetime pipeline to a regular pipeline, set the ``run_once`` class variable
+     to ``False`` and reset ``is_active` field to ``True`` via a migration.
+
+
 .. note::
 
    | Use ``make valid`` to format your new code using black and isort automatically.
