    Best practice
    Provide more detailed solutions for handling and recovering from Invalid SessionId Exceptions

    Consider adding information about how to properly handle and recover from an Invalid
    SessionId Exception, such as creating a new session or implementing a retry
    mechanism.

    website_and_docs/content/documentation/webdriver/troubleshooting/errors/_index.en.md [109-111]

     ### Possible Solutions
     
    -Check your script for instances of `driver.close()` and `driver.quit()`, and any other possible causes of closed tabs/browsers. It could be that you are locating an element before you should/can.
    +1. Check your script for instances of `driver.close()` and `driver.quit()`, and any other possible causes of closed tabs/browsers. It could be that you are locating an element before you should/can.
    +2. Implement a try-except block to catch the Invalid SessionId Exception and create a new session if needed.
    +3. Use a wrapper or decorator function to automatically retry operations that may fail due to an invalid session.
    +4. Consider implementing a session management system to keep track of active sessions and their states.
     
    +Example of handling the exception:
    +
    +```python
    +from selenium import webdriver
    +from selenium.common.exceptions import InvalidSessionIdException
    +
    +def perform_action_with_retry(driver, action, max_retries=3):
    + for attempt in range(max_retries):
    + try:
    + return action(driver)
    + except InvalidSessionIdException:
    + if attempt < max_retries - 1:
    + print("Invalid session, creating a new one...")
    + driver = webdriver.Chrome() # Create a new session
    + else:
    + raise
    +```
    +

    Suggestion importance[1-10]: 8

    Why: Offering detailed solutions and examples for handling exceptions improves the documentation by providing actionable steps for users, enhancing both usability and robustness of the guidance.

    Enhancement
    Add a code example to illustrate the Invalid SessionId Exception

    Consider adding a code example to illustrate the Invalid SessionId Exception. This
    can help users better understand how the error occurs and how to avoid it.

    website_and_docs/content/documentation/webdriver/troubleshooting/errors/_index.en.md [101-111]

     ## Invalid SessionId Exception
     
     Sometimes the session you're trying to access is different than what's currently available
     
     ### Likely Cause
     
     This usually occurs when the session has been deleted (e.g. `driver.quit()`) or if the session has changed, like when the last tab/browser has closed (e.g. `driver.close()`)
     
     ### Possible Solutions
     
     Check your script for instances of `driver.close()` and `driver.quit()`, and any other possible causes of closed tabs/browsers. It could be that you are locating an element before you should/can.
     
    +### Example
    +
    +```python
    +from selenium import webdriver
    +
    +driver = webdriver.Chrome()
    +driver.get("https://www.example.com")
    +
    +# This will close the browser and end the session
    +driver.quit()
    +
    +# This will raise an Invalid SessionId Exception
    +try:
    + driver.get("https://www.another-example.com")
    +except Exception as e:
    + print(f"An error occurred: {e}")
    +```
    +

    Suggestion importance[1-10]: 7

    Why: Adding a code example can significantly enhance understanding by providing a practical illustration of the issue and its resolution, which is beneficial for users learning from documentation.

    Expand the Chinese translation to provide more context and detailed explanations, matching the level of detail in the English version

    Consider adding more context and explanation to the Chinese translation, as it
    appears to be more concise than the English version. This will ensure consistency
    across language versions and provide Chinese readers with the same level of detail.

    website_and_docs/content/documentation/webdriver/troubleshooting/errors/_index.zh-cn.md [102-109]

     ## 无效 SessionId 异常
    -有时您尝试访问的会话与当前可用的会话不同。
    +
    +有时您尝试访问的会话与当前可用的会话不同。这可能会导致操作失败并引发异常。
     
     ### 可能原因
    -通常发生在会话被删除时(例如:`driver.quit()`)或会话发生更改时,例如最后一个标签页/浏览器已关闭(例如:`driver.close()`)。
    +
    +这种情况通常发生在以下情况下:
    +1. 会话被删除(例如:执行了 `driver.quit()`)
    +2. 会话发生更改,例如最后一个标签页或浏览器已关闭(例如:执行了 `driver.close()`)
    +3. 会话因为其他原因(如超时或浏览器崩溃)而失效
     
     ### 可能的解决方案
    -检查脚本中是否有 `driver.close()` 和 `driver.quit()` 的实例,以及其他可能导致标签页/浏览器关闭的原因。可能是您在应该/能够定位元素之前就尝试定位了该元素。
     
    +1. 仔细检查您的脚本,查找是否有 `driver.close()` 和 `driver.quit()` 的调用,以及其他可能导致标签页或浏览器关闭的原因。
    +2. 确保您没有在应该或能够定位元素之前就尝试定位该元素。
    +3. 考虑实现错误处理机制,在遇到无效会话ID时可以重新创建会话或重试操作。
    +4. 使用显式等待或隐式等待来确保在执行操作之前页面和元素已经加载完成。
    +
    +通过采取这些措施,您可以减少遇到无效SessionId异常的可能性,并提高脚本的稳定性。

    Why: Ensuring consistency across language versions by expanding the Chinese translation to match the English version's detail improves accessibility and comprehension for Chinese readers.
