 You can resume training from a previous checkpoint like this:
 
-1. Pass `--output_dir previous_output_dir` without `--overwrite_output_dir` to resume training from the latest checkpoint in `output_dir` (what you would use if the training was interrupted, for instance).
+1. Pass `--resume_from_checkpoint path_to_a_specific_checkpoint` to resume training from that checkpoint folder.
-2. Pass `--resume_from_checkpoint path_to_a_specific_checkpoint` to resume training from that checkpoint folder.
 
 Should you want to turn an example into a notebook where you'd no longer have access to the command
 line, 🤗 Trainer supports resuming from a checkpoint via `trainer.train(resume_from_checkpoint)`.
