Start and Stop PlanetPress Workflow Service

As with most Windows services, PlanetPress Workflow can be started and stopped automatically when a Windows session is opened and closed. The other option is to start, stop or pause PlanetPress Workflow manually using the PlanetPress Workflow Configuration program.

The current PlanetPress Workflow status is always displayed in the lower-right corner of the PlanetPress Workflow Configuration program window.
