YOUR SESSION
How the session tools work
No account or password is required. The two controls in the top navigation manage your optional saved session and notebook.
Session menu
Use the button with your name—or “Your session”—to begin, save with email, keep a resume code, download, or end the session.
Notebook button
Use the notebook icon to write notes, review session details, and download a copy. Notes are not posted publicly.
If you choose “Use without saving” in Cookie choices, entries stay only in the open tab and disappear when you leave.
