What is a session?
A session is a single continuous study period in SolversBoard. From the moment you generate your first question to the moment you close the app, everything is captured: your questions, your handwritten working on the canvas, Meg's feedback on each attempt, your score, which topics you covered, and how long you spent.
Sessions are saved automatically - you never need to click save. When you come back, your session is exactly where you left it.
How sessions are stored
Each session is saved to your account and accessible from the Sessions panel in the sidebar. Sessions are listed chronologically, with a thumbnail preview of your canvas so you can identify them at a glance.
Every session includes:
- The questions you worked on - the full question text, answer options, and correct answer
- Your canvas pages - a faithful record of your handwritten working
- Meg's feedback - every piece of feedback Meg gave, in order
- Your score - correct vs. incorrect, broken down by topic
- The subject and topic - so sessions are easy to filter and search
- Timestamp - when you started and how long you studied
Naming and pinning sessions
By default, sessions are named automatically based on the subject and date (e.g. "Chemistry · Jun 15"). You can rename any session to something more meaningful - "Pre-exam WAEC drill", "Calculus weak spots", "Revision session 3" - so your library stays organised.
Sessions you want to keep permanently visible can be pinned to the top of the list. Pinning is useful for sessions you plan to revisit, sessions that covered a particularly important topic, or sessions that contain questions you flagged for review.
Resuming a session
You can resume any previous session exactly where you left off. Your canvas state is restored, the current question is reloaded, and Meg is ready to continue. This is particularly useful for long revision sessions that span multiple days.
If you'd prefer to start fresh while keeping a record of the previous session, you can open a new session from any point in the sidebar - your old session stays intact in the library.
What sessions mean for progress tracking
Because every session is recorded in full, SolversBoard can build an accurate picture of your learning over time. Your progress dashboard pulls from your session history to show:
- Your total questions attempted and accuracy rate
- Your performance by subject and topic
- Your streak (consecutive days with at least one session)
- Your XP and badge progression
- Which topics you've covered and how recently
The detail available in each session is what makes this data meaningful. It's not just "you got 7 out of 10" - it's "you got questions 1, 3, and 7 wrong, all on the same sub-topic, and Meg's feedback on question 3 explains exactly what went wrong."
Session sharing - for schools and families
On School and Family plans, sessions can be shared with a teacher, admin, or parent. Sharing gives them read-only access to the session - they can see the questions, the canvas drawings, the score, and Meg's feedback, but they cannot edit anything.
This is the foundation of the Session Inspection feature, which lets teachers review student work in detail. We cover that separately in the Session Inspection post.
Auto-save and offline resilience
SolversBoard saves your session state continuously in the background. If you lose your internet connection mid-session, your work is preserved locally and synced when you reconnect. You should never lose work due to a connection drop.
Auto-save also means you can close the browser, shut your laptop, or switch devices at any point - your session picks up exactly where you stopped, on any device logged in to your account.
Generating a session thumbnail
Each session gets a visual thumbnail - a miniature preview of your canvas from that session. Thumbnails are generated automatically as you draw and are updated periodically during the session. They make it much easier to identify sessions visually, especially when you have dozens in your library.
Deleting sessions
Sessions can be deleted individually from the sessions panel. Deletion is permanent - once deleted, the session and all its contents (canvas pages, scores, feedback) are removed from your account. We recommend only deleting sessions you're certain you no longer need.
Challenge mode sessions
Challenge mode - where SolversBoard presents a rapid-fire sequence of questions against a countdown timer - is recorded as a session just like any other. At the end of a challenge, you see your score (correct / total), your time, and your accuracy percentage. The session is saved, and Meg's feedback for each question is available to review.
Sessions are the memory of your learning journey. Every question you've ever answered, every piece of working you've ever written, every piece of feedback Meg has ever given you - it's all there, searchable, and ready to help you improve.
