DO Check all six paragraphs, unfilled sentence positions and review flags before export. The finished report is a negotiated class text, not independent assessment evidence. Export the working HTML for an editable copy or the report HTML/text for reading. The current language view controls report wording; both versions remain in the working file.

WORK Read the prior wording before selecting a continuation. Four sentences appear in a vertical list; click one to preview it.

RECORD Save the working HTML or JSON at a stopping point. Keep individual student work in private storage.
