+====== Pause Until Action ======
+The //Pause Until// action pauses until criteria for conditions are met.
+{{:action:km-7.3-pause-until-default-screen.png?nolink|}}
+By default (v11.0+) Keyboard Maestro will start to conserve CPU usage of this action if it runs for a long time (after 10 seconds it will conserve a little, after 60 seconds it will conserve a lot) by only checking the condition periodically. You can turn off this feature in the action (gear) ⚙ menu.
+===== Fields on the Pause Until Action =====
+**Criteria for condition(s)**
+  *Any of the following are true — at least one condition must be true.
+  *All of the following are true — every condition must be true.
+  *None of the following are true — no condition is true.
+  *Not all of the following are true — at least one condition must be false.
+**Conditions**
+  * Add one or more new conditions by clicking the green + button beside //New Condition// to select from a list of available conditions.
+  * Conditions are grouped by the following categories. See the [[:Conditions|Conditions]] section for further details.
+  * After selecting a condition category you can make further choices. For example, if you choose the //Application Condition// you can choose a specific application to be running, or at the front, and so on.
+  * Add further conditions by clicking the green + button again.
