 ====Cookies====
-Currently, there is no way to set HTTP cookies explicitly in the Web Request action. Under the hood, all cookies that come with responses are automatically stored in a cookie container that exists only during project execution. Cookies from the container are automatically appended to outgoing requests. In case of calls/iterations, the cookie container is passed to called/iterated modules or projects which in turn can add new cookies to it. This can be used for cookie-based web sessions.
+Currently, there is no way to set HTTP cookies explicitly in the Web Request action. Under the hood, all cookies that come with responses to web requests are automatically stored in a cookie container that exists only during project execution. Cookies from the container are automatically appended to outgoing requests made using the same Web Location connector. If a project workflow includes calls/iterations, the cookie container is passed to called/iterated modules or projects which in turn can add new cookies to it. This can be used for cookie-based web sessions.
 When project execution is finished, the cookie container is discarded. No cookies are stored in project or Web Location connector.
+When developing workflows with web requests it may be necessary to re-run parts of workflows. In this case it is recommended to always start from the Web Request actions that do authentication so that the session cookies can be set under the hood.
