1. Find the paused flow interviews. Your administrator’s configuration determines where to find them.
    
    1. To find paused flow interviews in Salesforce Classic, from the Home tab, go to the Paused Flow Interviews related list.
    2. To find paused flow interviews in the Salesforce mobile app, from the menu icon, find and select **Paused Flows**.
    3. To find paused flow interviews in the Automation app, from the App Launcher, find and select **Automation**, and then go to the Monitor tab.
    
    If you paused a flow interview and can’t find the place where you’re supposed to resume flow interviews from, contact your admin.
2. Delete the flow interview that’s no longer necessary.

Instead, it uses the version of the flow that was active when you paused.")
