The clear session node is used to delete the current session and all related states (temporary data, flowchart stack, view state, comet listeners, et cetera). When a session is cleared, it will redirect you to the home page where it will create a new empty session. You can also specify another navigation item to return to.
The clear session node is an important safety measure that should, for example, be used in a log-out flowchart. This will make the logout permanent and prevents someone from returning to a logged in session by using the browsers back button.
