The Start/End step is an optional step that can be used to indicate where your workflows start and end. When the step is run, you can perform the following actions:
- Click Pause to pause the step.
- Click Proceed to complete the step.
If the step's User Prompt and Help parameters don't contain values, the step completes automatically.
