+DANGER: **Warning:**
+In GitLab 13.2 and 13.3, promoting a secondary node to a primary while the
+secondary is paused fails. Do not pause replication before promoting a
+secondary. If the node is paused, be sure to resume before promoting. This
+issue has been fixed in GitLab 13.4 and later.

CAUTION: **Caution:**
Pausing and resuming of replication is currently only supported for Geo installations using an
Omnibus GitLab-managed database. External databases are currently not supported.
