Editing Pause Menu

[[File:PauseMenu.png|right|270px]]{{#setmainimage:PauseMenu.png|quiet}}
The '''Pause Menu''' is a feature of [[Geometry Dash]], [[Geometry Dash Lite]], [[Geometry Dash Meltdown]], [[Geometry Dash World]], and [[Geometry Dash SubZero]]. It can be accessed during levels using the Esc key (Steam) or the pause button in the upper-right corner (mobile).

==Description==
The pause menu displays the following:
*Level name
*Normal mode and [[Practice Mode|practice mode]] first-time progress meters (classic level only)
*Elapsed time playing level (platformer level only)
*The number of points the player has if enabled by the level. (platformer level only)
*Buttons to restart the level without checkpoints (platformer level only), to enable practice mode, to resume playing the level, to quit the level and to restart the level.
*Music and SFX volume sliders
*A button to access an extended settings menu, displaying:
**'''Ignore Damage ([[Level Editor|level editor]] only):''' Icon will not take damage and will clip through objects that otherwise would have resulted in a crash (level verification is disabled).
**'''Auto-Retry:''' ''(enabled by default)'' Automatically respawns the icon upon crashing. When disabled, a pop-up showing the percentage achieved appears instead. 
**'''Auto-Checkpoints:''' ''(enabled by default)'' Automatically places checkpoints while in [[Practice Mode|practice mode]]. The rate differs depending on the icon's form.
**'''Show Progress Bar:''' Displays a progress bar at the top of the screen (classic level only).
**'''Show Percentage:''' Displays a percentage showing level progress at the top of the screen (classic level only).
**'''Show Time:''' Displays the elapsed time (platformer level only).
**'''Audio Visualizer:''' Displays two bars at the upper left of the screen, indicating the current audio levels, a left bar for Song and a right bar for SFX.
**'''Show Info Label:''' Shows info label with things like how many things are moving, rotating, scaling and following on the screen, how many songs and SFX is playing and more.
**'''Disable Checkpoints:''' Decreases the frequency of automatic checkpoint placement (when enabled) (classic level), disables checkpoints (platformer level).
**'''Practice Music Sync:''' ''(requires ''Music Unlocker'' from the [[Diamond Shop]])'' Reverts the practice mode music to the normal mode music.
**'''Show Hitboxes:''' Displays hitboxes while in practice mode.
**'''''Platformer UI:''''' (mobile only) ''Accesses a configurator for the platformer UI. Upon entering, three configuration profiles can be selected to edit/save or load.''

==Trivia==
*There used to be no delay on when the player could pause, which allowed pause buffering, where the player could time their inputs better and allowed near-impossible levels like [[Sakupen circles (Nick24)|Sakupen circles]] to be beaten.<ref group="YouTube">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_dvGZJGUj4</ref>
**This technique was later banned by the [[Demonlist (Pointercrate)|Demonlist]], making any completions using it invalid.<ref group="Discord">https://discord.com/channels/395654171422097420/395692399919366147/1208235206461620244</ref>
**It was finally patched in Update 2.206 when a delay was added that made it so that pausing three times in a short period results in being only allowed to pause once, nerfing pause buffering.
