Breathe

Overview and Key Concepts

The Breathe activity will hold the token for a delay time of 0, which is similar to sending a delayed message in 0 time. Doing so will create an event in 0 time before releasing the token. Breathes can allow you to break up certain operations to ensure that things are happening in an appropriate order. This is like taking a breath before moving on. It may be difficult to know when this is needed, but if something in your model is not behaving properly, adding a breathe can potentially solve issues.
