 :Example:
-   I want to hold back the workflow while I manually run one or more tasks
+   I want to pause the workflow while I manually run one or more tasks
    to fix a problem or test a task.
 
 :Solution:
-   * Hold all tasks after a specified cycle.
+   * Pause the workflow.
    * Trigger the task(s) you want to run.
-   * When you're done triggering, release the held tasks to allow the workflow
-     to continue.
+   * When you're done triggering, resume (unpause) the workflow.

 .. note::
 
    The difference between the workflow "paused" state and the task "held" state:
 
    Workflow Pause
-      When a workflow is :term:`paused <pause>`, no new jobs will be submitted.
-      This gives you an opportunity to make changes to the workflow, however, if
-      you trigger tasks, they will not run until the workflow is resumed.
+      When a workflow is :term:`paused <pause>` new jobs will not be submitted
+      automatically, but you can still trigger tasks manually.
