To avoid leaving a workflow in a paused state during development or testing, adding a Stop activity ensures that the workflow is forcibly stopped after all the activities have been processed. Additionally, adding an End activity at the end of a workflow is a standard practice for defining a clear endpoint, after which the workflow will not proceed. Both these activities help prevent workflows from remaining in an unintended paused state.
It's important to use these activities as they are designed to provide a clean termination of the workflow's execution.References:These recommendations are based on standard practices within workflowmanagement in automation systems like Adobe Campaign Classic, where Stop and End activities are common features.
