};

  • "initial" starts a fresh new session and all Questions render as unattempted.
  • "resume" loads any existing session data and pre-populates the learner's saved responses.
  • "review" loads the session data, pre-populates all saved responses, and enables the validation UI for all Questions. All Questions are rendered in a read-only mode.
