Options like Hold, Pause, are posibilities that batch software offers, but the functionality deppends of the program you have in controller, if you define one logic for each option of batch state so the system response could be different deppending of operator action.
but you can define in your program the same response for some batch states, in this case no matter operator action the program response is the same.
it is important to define how the program response if one of these modes is activated, is the operator who active any state.

Hold is the actual command issued
Holding indicates the hold command has been issued by the operator and the hold logic is being executed for the active blocks. This is the transition state.
Held indicates the logic has completed
There is good information about the commands/status in the operations manual for batch

But what is the practical purpose of hold a batch? (This is not described in the manual)

It puts the equipment into a "paused" state and prevents further production on a batch. Resume restarts the batch.
Obviously it depends on how your product is made whether this acually works or not.
