Check an interrupted PrintStation save by reading its original outcome. Keep an uncertain reply separate from a failed change, and do not repeat the save. Use the desktop Owner workflow; this checks a transport policy and sends nothing to a printer.

   Confirm that the whole file contains the values you intend to save.

23. **Recognise an interrupted save reply**

   Recognise an interrupted save reply

   The product has saved this change, but its reply is deliberately interrupted in this lesson. Treat the outcome as uncertain and do not save it again.

24. **Read the original saved outcome**

   Check the recorded request. This reads the original outcome without repeating the save. Continue only after the product confirms the original change.

The original saved change is confirmed without another write. Independent expected answers, checking and release approval remain separate.
