Manually start or stop a Block
Log in to add to favouritesMultiple versions of a Block can be running at the same time. This is most commonly the latest Block, the most recently released Block, and the Block that is currently live. You can have up to three additional Blocks running alongside these, including Blocks that have been started manually or those used by feature branches.
If you need to review a previous Block version, you can start additional Blocks manually. You'll need to be a member of a role with Start/stop
permission to start or stop Blocks manually.

state and can't be the current live version. - Open the actions menu by pressing the Actions button, as indicated by the triple dot icon.
