What is the recommended way to stop workflow notifications for a week if a manager is out of the office?

The recommended way to stop workflow notifications for a week when a manager is out of the office is to pause the workflow temporarily. By pausing the workflow, all notifications and automated processes are halted without losing any setup or configuration. This method allows for a seamless resumption of the workflow once the manager returns.

Disabling the workflow might seem like a straightforward approach, but it could lead to a permanent loss of context or settings that would require additional effort to reestablish. Similarly, changing the notification settings may not effectively address the need for complete inactivity, as it could still send notifications under certain conditions. Assigning a different manager to monitor the workflow could introduce inconsistencies and may not be a feasible option depending on the organization's structure or the manager's level of knowledge about the ongoing processes.

Pausing the workflow allows the team to maintain the existing structure while ensuring that there are no unnecessary notifications sent out during the manager’s absence. This method provides an effective balance between operational efficiency and team communication.
