What happens to items in a paused work queue?

When a work queue is paused in Blue Prism, all items within that queue are effectively held and will not be processed until the queue is resumed. This means that the items remain in the queue and are preserved in their current state, waiting for the appropriate conditions to allow processing to continue. This functionality is designed to provide control over workflow and task management, allowing users to stop processing temporarily without losing the data associated with the items in the queue. Therefore, when the work queue is resumed, processing can continue seamlessly from where it was left off.
