# Hold

Tasks in a *Hold* stage will be held there until moved by a project manager. Tasks in a *Hold* stage, when opened, can be edited and saved, but not submitted to be advanced to a further stage.

**Manual Forward.** Clicking on *Next Stage* sends all tasks currently in the Hold stage to the stage connected to the output of the Hold stage. If you wish to only send forward tasks belonging to one or more batches, by clicking on the dropdown/text area to the left, you may search for and pick a batch (or more) to forward.
