# ProtectCheckResource

A pending Clerk Protect challenge that must be completed before the current sign-in or sign-up attempt can continue.

This resource is only returned when Protect mid-flow challenges are enabled for the instance. When present, load the challenge SDK from `sdkUrl`, initialize it with `token` and `uiHints`, and submit the proof token returned by the SDK with `submitProtectCheck()`.
