This guide shows two easy ways to do it.
What “Pause” Means
When a workflow is paused, it is put in Draft mode.
Draft workflows do not run or send messages. It Pauses everyone in the workflow at their current position until resumed where it will begin where it left off.
When you unpause, you Publish them again so they work like normal.
