FAQ

What happens when I pause a worker?

The worker stops running on new Triggers or live events immediately. Nothing is deleted — Skills, Guards, knowledge, and Results are untouched.

Does pausing delete its Skills and Guards?

No. Enabled only controls whether the worker runs. Its configuration stays exactly as you left it, so you can turn it back on at any time.

Can I still run it manually while it's paused?

No — Run Worker requires the worker to be enabled. Turn it on first, run it, then pause it again if you only wanted a one-off test.
