    10  # Schedule Periodic Plan Runs
    11  
    12  -> This is an unreleased beta feature. Please
    13  <a href="mailto:support@hashicorp.com">contact support</a> if you are interested
    14  in helping us test this feature.
    15  
    16  Terraform can automatically run a plan against your infrastructure on a
    17  specified schedule. This option is disabled by default and can be enabled by an
    18  organization owner on a per-environment basis.
    19  
    20  On the specified interval, a plan can be run that for you, determining any
    21  changes and sending the appropriate notifications.
    22  
    23  When used with [automatic applies](/docs/enterprise/runs/automatic-applies.html), this feature can help converge
    24  changes to infrastructure without human input.
    25  
    26  Runs will not be queued while another plan or apply is in progress, or if the
    27  environment has been manually locked. Se
    28  [Environment Locking](/docs/enterprise/runs#environment-locking) for more
    29   information.
    30  
    31  ## Enabling Periodic Plans
    32  
    33  To enable periodic plans for an environment, visit the environment settings page
    34  and select the desired interval and click the save button to persist the
    35  changes. An initial plan may immediately run, depending on the state of your
    36  environment, and then will automatically plan at the specified interval.
    37  
    38  If you have manually run a plan separately, a new plan will not be queued until
    39  the allotted time after the manual plan ran. This means that the platform simply
    40  ensures that a plan has been executed at the specified schedule.
