# PHASEEngine.UpdateMode.manual

A mode that indicates the app controls when the framework adjusts state.

```
case manual
```

## Discussion

In this mode, the framework waits for the app to call [`update()`](/documentation/PHASE/PHASEEngine/update()) before processing the app’s API calls and adjusting internal states.
