Checkpoint 1

Establish a saved checkpoint

Sign in with ChatGPT before relying on private draft recovery. Choose Save private draft within member, professional, or laboratory intake and wait for the confirmation message. If you continue editing during a save, review the message and save again to include the newest entries. A draft preserves preparation for later completion; final submission sends the intake for owner review.

  • Use the same account when returning from another device.
  • Open My onboarding and select the relevant saved intake.
  • Read the save result before closing the page or changing devices.

Checkpoint 2

Restore deliberately and review the complete form

Restore saved draft loads the saved entries and permission selections into the form. Review the whole form afterward, including entries you previously cleared and boxes you left unchecked. The restored draft represents its saved checkpoint. If you have newer text on screen, preserve that work before choosing Restore. Pay particular attention to time-sensitive information such as availability and the earliest start date.

Checkpoint 3

Resolve conflicts through the latest record

A conflict message can appear when another tab or device has saved a newer draft or member profile. Keep your current text available, return to the latest saved record, and compare before continuing. After final submission, the matching completed draft is retired; a newer draft from another session may remain. Check the confirmation, reference, and personal progress before repeating an action. If recovery remains difficult, describe the affected intake and visible message through Get help.
