Debug Panel - Breakpoints
Overview
Breakpoints provide a means of pausing execution at a specified step in order for you to inspect certain aspects of the task. In the Steps panel, breakpoints are designated by a red, circled icon located on the left side of the step number. The Breakpoints debug window is used for viewing and managing breakpoints. It lists the step number and textual description of any step that contains a breakpoint. Using this debug window, you can easily jump to any breakpoint step, remove a specific breakpoint or remove all breakpoints. More on Breakpoints
