SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

LangGraph's human-in-the-loop patterns enable pausing execution for review, collecting input, and safely resuming with validated decisions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Interrupt-based pauses to surface data or decisions for human review in LangGraph workflows.
  • Command(resume=...) to continue execution with the human-provided input, supporting both single and multi-interrupt coordination.
  • Handles approval routing, validation loops, and subgraph re-execution with safeguards against duplicative side effects and lost state.

Quick Start

Pause a running graph with interrupt(Approve this change?), then resume with Command(resume=your_decision) to continue the workflow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I pause a LangGraph workflow for human review?

To pause a LangGraph workflow for human review, use the interrupt function to suspend execution and surface data for human inspection. This enables reliable human-in-the-loop control before safely resuming the graph.

What is the best way to resume a LangGraph graph after an interrupt?

The best way to resume a LangGraph graph after an interrupt is using Command(resume=...) with your human-provided input. This restarts execution with validated decisions and supports both single and multi-interrupt coordination.

Do I need a checkpointer to use human-in-the-loop patterns in LangGraph?

Yes, you need a checkpointer to use human-in-the-loop patterns in LangGraph. A checkpointer, along with a thread_id and JSON-serializable payload, is required to persist state across interrupt pauses and resume execution reliably.

Can LangGraph handle multiple interrupts and subgraph re-execution?

Yes, LangGraph handles multiple interrupts and subgraph re-execution. It coordinates multi-interrupt flows and includes safeguards against duplicative side effects and lost state when re-executing subgraphs with human input.

How does interrupt-based error handling work in LangGraph workflows?

Interrupt-based error handling in LangGraph workflows works by pausing execution upon errors using interrupt, routing to validation or approval loops, and resuming with Command(resume=...) to apply human-provided corrections safely.
