Manual approval

One of the basic features of pipelines is automatic triggering, most often used to test the application on every push to the repository. However, in some cases you may want certain actions to run automatically, others requiring manual intervention – all within the same pipeline.

This is where the Approve Run action proves useful. For instance, you can use it to manually confirm the deployment to the server, provided the automatic tests have finished successfully:

Configuration is very straightforward and requires adding the action and specifying who is allowed to resume the execution:

Once the action is added, the pipeline execution will stop and wait for a developer with proper permissions to resume it:
