+Workflow instance methods `pause()`, `resume()`, `restart()`, and `terminate()` now work in local development when using `wrangler dev`.
+
+You can now test the full Workflow instance lifecycle locally:
+
+```ts
+const instance = await env.MY_WORKFLOW.create({
+	id: "my-instance",
+});
+
+await instance.pause(); // pauses a running workflow instance
+await instance.resume(); // resumes a paused instance
+await instance.restart(); // restarts the instance from the beginning
+await instance.terminate(); // terminates the instance immediately
+```
