# Resume a Flow Interview

If you paused a flow interview, resume it after you have all the necessary information. If you pause a flow interview and the associated flow is updated before you resume, the resumed flow interview doesn’t use the updated flow. Instead, it uses the version of the flow that was active when you paused.

If you entered values before you paused, all valid values are restored to those fields when you resume. If you don’t see something that you entered before you paused, that value was invalid and the flow didn’t save it. For example, if you enter “Acme, Inc.” for a field that only accepts numbers and then pause, that field is blank when you resume the flow interview.
