+[[conditional-breakpoint]]
+== Set a Conditional Breakpoint
+
+A conditional breakpoint uses a DataWeave expression, so execution pauses at that line only when the expression evaluates to `true`.
+
+To set or change a breakpoint condition:
+
+. Add a breakpoint in the configuration XML. See <<add-breakpoint>>.
+. Right-click the breakpoint indicator in the gutter for that line.
+. Select *Edit Breakpoint*.
+. In the breakpoint editor, enter a DataWeave expression that uses the current Mule event.
+
+The gutter context menu for a breakpoint also includes *Remove Breakpoint*, *Disable Breakpoint*, and *Run to Line*.
+
+To review a condition later, hover over the breakpoint in the gutter. A tooltip shows the configured expression in the form `Condition:` followed by your DataWeave expression.
+
+[[exception-breakpoints]]
+== Stop When an Exception Is Thrown
+
+You can configure the debugger to pause whenever any exception is thrown, which helps you inspect failures without adding breakpoints to every path.
+
+. Open *Run and Debug*.
+. In the *BREAKPOINTS* section, enable *All Exceptions*.
++
+If you enable *All Exceptions*, the debugger pauses as soon as an exception is thrown during a debug session.

+== Evaluate DataWeave While Debugging
+
+While execution is paused, you can run DataWeave against the current Mule event from the *Debug Console* or from pinned entries in the *Watch* panel. For the variables available in those expressions, see xref:dataweave::dataweave-variables-context.adoc[Predefined Mule event variables].
+
+[[evaluate-dw-debug-console]]
+=== Use the Debug Console
+
+. Start a debug session and pause execution at a breakpoint or after a step. See <<run-debug-mode>> and <<debug-toolbar>>.
+. Open the *Debug Console* tab, or choose *View* > *Debug Console*.
+. Ensure the input is set to *Expression*. Type a DataWeave expression and press Enter to evaluate it against the current message, attributes, variables, and other values visible to the debugger at the pause.
++
+The console shows each expression you run and its evaluated result for the current pause.
+
+The *Debug Console* is suited to check if needed as you step through a flow.
+
+[[evaluate-dw-watch]]
+=== Use the Watch Panel
+
+. Open the *Watch* panel in the *Run and Debug* sidebar.
+. Add an entry with *+* and enter a DataWeave expression.
++
+Whenever execution pauses, the debugger reevaluates each watch expression and shows the result next to the expression, similar to the *Debug Console*.
++
+Watch expressions typically persist for later debug sessions in the same workspace, so you can keep inspecting the same values across runs.
+
+The *Watch* panel is suited to values you want to track on every pause without retyping them.
