Figured bass hold lines indicate that chords remain the same over changing notes in the bass.

By default, Dorico Elements shows hold lines for figures that have duration, but hides lines between suspensions and resolutions or after resolutions. You can hide/show hold and suspension lines for individual suspension figures.
