Resuming a Saved Assembly Session
Remove this page - workaround for a bug since fixed
If you have already saved an assembly session, you can resume the session by making a request to the begin assembly session endpoint.
Prerequisites
Before making a 'resume assembly session' request, you must have an access token to sign the request. You can retrieve an access token using one of the following flows:
- Getting an access token using the Resource Owner flow
- Getting an access token using the Implicit flow
Additionally, you must have the following items:
- A work item (see Creating a Work Item)
Overview
The 'resume assembly session' API method is a command method. The API client invoking this method must have either a command or a root scope.
This method is useful when you want to enable a user to return to the last saved state of their interview.
This method forces a new assembly session to be created, loading the last saved answers into the interview.
This method will force a new assembly session to be created, abandoning any unsaved changes to the interview.
