Manual process step in process flow

We have a process flow which will be started by a task. It wil open a document in popup, and after selecting a record in that document, we need to continue the process flow with this selected record. We want to prevent building two process flows, as it will be difficult to save the selected row in one process flow and pass it to the next one. Now i know there is a process step called Manual. 

First question is: What does this process step do? The documentation is not very elaborate on this. 
Second question, can we use this manual process step after opening a document, to wait for user input, and continue after a new task was clicked in this same window?

Hi Bram, I believe this is a relic process action in the Windows GUI that halts the process flow until the user manually confirms the flow may continue. However, I've never used this. Also Universal GUI does not support this process action.

I don't think you can use this process action to pause the process flow and let the user do stuff to later continue it.

Mark is right on the support of this process action.

Another approach might be to use the first processflow to (pre)filter the subject. So the user only has one visible record to finish the process.
