# Pause or Resume In-Progress Actions in Account Engagement

Pause and resume actions that are processing in your business unit. For example, if you see that there’s an action in progress to archive prospects, you can pause that action to prioritize a critical list email send. When an action is paused, the system reprioritizes to focus on the remaining active jobs. You can also cancel an action.
