I have few things I don’t really understand about refresh and extend sessions.
1. Is it possible to do that as a user ? I see that there says that you have to use the admin endpoint
2. The refresh option can be used with the sdk ? Or do I have to make a request with the parameter and manage this part “manually” ? 
I am trying to figure out how to do the refresh/extend of a session. If I have to manage it or the sdk already does that.

Hi <@U03050HMGLQ>
1. Yes you as a user can refresh your session, meaning you can direct the user into a login flow with the `?refresh=true` parameter (see the docs <https://www.ory.sh/docs/guides/session-management/overview#refreshing-sessions|here>, and <https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/self-service/flows/user-login#refreshing-a-session|here>). The admin endpoint can extend the session as well, but you need to specifically get the user id to check their sessions and then extend them using the session id. <https://www.ory.sh/docs/reference/api#operation/adminExtendSession|See this API endpoint>.
2. The SDK wraps the HTTP Api. So you should be able to use the SDK instead of manually mapping the HTTP endpoints. But you will still need to do a couple of calls to the API to get the user id, session id and then extending the session id.
