You can pause many tasks in the vSphere Web Client and later resume them from the Work in Progress pane.

Procedure

  1. In a dialog box or wizard, click the minimize button.
    The task is paused and minimized to the Work in Progress pane. Any changes that you have made in the dialog box or wizard are saved, but not yet applied to the object you are working with.
  2. When you are ready to resume the task, click it in the Work in Progress pane.
    The dialog box or wizard opens and you can resume the task from where you left off.
