Resuming a Google Forms test depends on two settings that must match: Disable auto-save for all respondents in Google Forms and Auto-resume in AutoProctor.

​
To Allow Test Resumption

Candidates pick up where they left off after closing the test.
1

Keep autosave enabled in Google Forms

Make sure Disable auto-save for all respondents is OFF in your Google Forms settings. This is the default.

To Prevent Test Resumption

Each visit to the test link creates a new, blank attempt.

Settings Combination Reference

Tests resume by default unless you change either setting.
If the two settings are mismatched, candidates may see a partially filled form on a new attempt or lose their saved progress. Always configure both settings to match.
