Configuring App Settings
Each setting in the App Settings section has a distinct function. Below is a breakdown of each option and its impact:
Show Current User Prompts in the App
Purpose: Displays a prompt after a set amount of time to confirm that the logged-in user is the current user.

Best Use Case: Improves accountability by ensuring only the original user can complete a Checklist.
Disable Starting New When Resumable Exists
