What happens when you select "Pause" while debugging a flow?

When you select "Pause" while debugging a flow, the flow exits and the debugging session ends. This means that any active debugging process will stop, allowing you to assess the flow without it continuing to process further actions. Pausing effectively halts the execution and allows you to review the current state of the flow at that moment, which can be essential in diagnosing issues or understanding how the flow behaves up to that point.

Choosing to pause may seem like it could mean saving the state for later, but instead, it signifies the termination of the current debugging session. Any subsequent actions will not take place until the flow is restarted manually after addressing any issues or making adjustments. Therefore, understanding this aspect of flow debugging is crucial for effective troubleshooting and enhancement of your Salesforce process automation efforts.
