Holding a Step from Execution

Why Use Hold on Steps?

Holding steps in Unmeshed allows for manual intervention in process execution. You may want to hold a step in scenarios such as:

  • Debugging a step before allowing it to proceed.
  • Ensuring that dependent systems are ready before execution.
  • Coordinating manual approvals before running a step.

When a step is held, it will not proceed in execution until it is manually cleared.
