# Breakpoints
[Breakpoints](../how-tos/human_in_the_loop/breakpoints.md) pause graph execution at defined points and let you step through each stage. They use LangGraph's [**persistence layer**](./persistence.md), which saves the graph state after each step.
With breakpoints, you can inspect the graph's state and node inputs at any point. Execution pauses **indefinitely** until you resume, as the checkpointer preserves the state.

For information on how to use breakpoints, see [Set breakpoints](../how-tos/human_in_the_loop/breakpoints.md) and [Set breakpoints using Server API](../cloud/how-tos/human_in_the_loop_breakpoint.md).
