What do checkpoints do and how to use them corretly? The [docs](https://rasa.com/docs/core/stories/#checkpoints) don’t actually explain them, just how to insert them.

1. After the user says hello, will the ‘first story’ blocked form being activated again?

2. Can the same checkpoint be used several times within the same story?

3. Can checkpoints be used as go-to from one story to another?

4. Is ‘user affirms question’ and ‘user denies question’ blocked from being active until ‘first story’ has been active?

5. Can I reset a checkpoint?
