# Suspend an In-Progress Orchestration

Suspend an orchestration run to wait until you’re ready to continue. When you suspend a running orchestration, the current stage is also suspended. In-progress steps continue to run, but no new steps are started. If an in-progress step has output, it’s stored so it can be processed when the orchestration is resumed.

You can suspend only an in-progress orchestration.

1. In the App Launcher, find and select **Orchestration Runs**.
2. On the Orchestration Runs page, from the dropdown for the in-progress orchestration, select **Suspend**.
3. Click **Suspend**.

When you’re ready, resume the orchestration run.

When a suspended orchestration run is resumed, the suspended stage is also resumed. When the orchestration run is resumed, it evaluates the status of in-progress steps and updates the step status where appropriate. Stored outputs from steps that were in progress when the orchestration run was suspended are processed.")
