+### Example Hold Invoice Support Flow
+
+1. Client generates a 32-byte hex-encoded preimage.
+2. Computes SHA-256 to derive payment hash.
+3. Sends `make_hold_invoice` with payment hash and desired parameters.
+4. Waits for `hold_invoice_accepted` notification.
+5. Upon receiving notification, either:
+
+   * Calls `settle_hold_invoice` with the original preimage to release funds, or
+   * Calls `cancel_hold_invoice` with payment hash to abort.
 ### Deep-links
 
 Wallet applications can register deeplinks in mobile systems to make it possible to create a linking UX that doesn't require the user scanning a QR code or pasting some code.
