Built as the default: pause stops the feed, the drawing job and auto-release together; run now still works.

To answer: keep, or pause only the feed.


Plan reference: Q14 in docs/PLAN.md (open questions). Answer here; the build takes the default until then.

More detail, since you asked.

The Admin page has a Feed settings tab with a Pause switch. Today Pause stops three things together:

  1. the scheduled VISUAL feed (new drafts and updates from VISUAL),
  2. the scheduled drawing lookup in M-Files,
  3. auto-release of finished drafts to the warehouse.

"Run now" still works while paused, so an Admin can run one pass by hand. Pause is for when VISUAL or M-Files is down for maintenance, or when the feed looks wrong and nothing new should arrive until someone checks.

The question: while paused, should the drawing lookup keep running, so drafts that already exist still get their drawings attached? Reply "keep as built" (everything stops) or "pause only the feed".
