To manage interview recordings, click the wrench icon and select the necessary option:
- Unblock: If an applicant reloads the DreamApply portal during an answer or a connection is lost, the interview may become blocked. Use this option to restore access to the interview for the applicant. The applicant will be able to resume from the last question before the interview was blocked.
- Reset: Use this option to restore an interview to its initial state and allow an applicant to complete it again.
- Delete: Use this option to remove a recording from the DreamApply portal for both Administrators and an applicant if it is no longer needed.
