What happens if you check the "End and continue" option in a Stop shape?

When the "End and continue" option is checked in a Stop shape, it allows the process flow to terminate the current branch while simultaneously enabling the continuation of execution for any other branches that may be part of the process. Essentially, this means that while the current flow is halted, other branches that may be processing concurrently will not be affected and will continue to run. This feature is particularly useful in scenarios where certain conditions need to stop processing in one part of the flow, but you still want to ensure that other parts can continue their execution without interruption.

This option is strategic in managing complex workflows, as it provides a controlled way to halt certain operations while allowing other actions to proceed, thus maintaining overall process efficiency and functionality.
