  1. Brilliant! having been frustrated by other answers elsewhere not helping, this was the solution I was looking for.
    Many thanks.

  2. This is INSANE! When you click the button to “Continue where you left off”, you should not have to go edit the policies with admin priveleges to make it happen!!!

    Someone should be fired for this.
