Can the doc page for [Navigating the Interface](https://www.8thwall.com/docs/studio/getting-started/navigate-interface) be updated to explain the purpose and behaviors of the Pause button in the Studio viewport?

I don’t quite understand what it is for, but it seems like my project acts a little differently in the Simulator depending on whether it is pressed or not.

I’ll make sure this gets updated.
