Accessing Shared or Copied Session Files in PointSolutions (formerly TurningPoint)

This support article contains information on accessing shared or copied PointSolutions session. This article additionally provides instructions for accessing shared or copied PointSolutions session files. Users can share these session files with others, and the process involves launching the PointSolutions application, importing the saved session data file, and optionally entering a password if one has been set by the original Instructor.
