continueing smooth point

So this is extremeley basic but I am struggleing to find an answer. If you are createing a path with smooth points and then deselect it how to do you continue the path without making a cusp point. Thats is I want the same handles I had when I was drawing the path in the first place. I know you can convert the point after making it but I am sure there is a way to do this in one step.

Sorry for the simple question
