Hi,

I am starting the online academy course (Appian Dev) .

I would like to know how to restart a process using the Web API.

I have been successful in starting a process using Web API.
Now I am wondering if it is possible to use Web API to resume a process that has already been started.

     [mention:09def98cea664ff8b2b1b4e8d229ac58:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] I have not come across the scenario you have described,  we can pause the process model by 2 ways, 
    1. using Timer smart service, here process will halt for duration of time you have mentioned,
    2. Using Rule smart service, here process will wait based on the logic you design, for more info docs.appian.com/.../Rule_Event.html

    For what purpose? IMHO this is not something you would do in Appian.

    Maybe this helps: https://appian.rocks/2023/03/20/design-long-running-tasks/
