  4.  Once complete, the Fresh Start is ready for use. Both Trainers and Participants can clone desktops from this baseline. 

    The Fresh Start serves as the central desktop within the course, enabling simultaneous cloning for all Participants and the Trainer. If needed, any user in the course can restore their environment from this Fresh Start.

    Accessing the 'Cog' menu reveals additional capabilities, such as cloning the Fresh Start to a Trainer, Participant, or Standalone machine, as well as cloning and resizing machines to Standalone status. Further options include migrating the Fresh Start to a different server, creating Snapshots, reviewing Recordings, or configuring a Remote Replica.

    Please refer to the relevant documentation for detailed guidance on these specific features.
