Pause and change step.

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by JeffPA

Is there a way with a Power Automate Desktop flow to pause the flow and then move the active step? Mostly for debugging but maybe you want to put a breakpoint in and then while it is paused, change a step and rerun it, instead of starting the entire script over again.

    As far as I know this is not possible as you want it.
    You can put in a "Terminate" order at that point where you want to stop the script but it stops there and you have to rerun it.

    For debugging purposes I suggest to write status values e.g. in a sharepoint "debugging" list for monitoring variables and status. That's what I am using monitoring my pa scripts.
