I would like the ability to pause a workflow, thus keeping all users at the step they are in, and then unpause it a few days later. Adding delay steps will not accomplish the same thing. For example, I want to pause a campaign during a holiday week, but start it again the following week without losing anyone. There is no way to successfully do this with a delay step unless every user is at the same step - which obviously will never be the case.
