Pause/Resume all handles
Method 1 - Pause from the notification
There are probably times where you want to hide handles as they would disturb you using the current app or to accept a permission in an app. For this you can always pause all handles from within the notifications:
Method 2 - Pause via handle action
Pause the notification via an action from a handle that stays enabled even in paused state
For this the app provides a pause/resume toggle shortcut (or a pause/resume action). Simply apply it as an action to a handle (e.g. to a swipe down action). A good trick here is to mark a handle as active even if all handles are paused - this can be easily done by clicking the overflow of a handle, select “adjust” and enable the option to show this handle in paused state as well like explained in the following 3 images:
If a handle has this setting enabled, it is available and visible even if all handles are paused. I would suggest to only enable this for a single handle.
