+    Enables checkpointing for a step.
     
-        - `checkpoint` (default): All repos are stored like objects saved by `@checkpoint`.
-            i.e., the cached path is derived from the namespace, flow, step, and Metaflow foreach iteration.
-            Any repo downloaded under this scope will only be retrieved from the cache when the step runs under the same namespace in the same flow (at the same foreach index).
+    > Examples
     
-        - `flow`: All repos are cached under the flow, regardless of namespace.
-            i.e., the cached path is derived solely from the flow name.
-            When to use this mode:
-                - Multiple users are executing the same flow and want shared access to the repos cached by the decorator.
-                - Multiple versions of a flow are deployed, all needing access to the same repos cached by the decorator.
+    - Saving Checkpoints
     
-        - `global`: All repos are cached under a globally static path.
-            i.e., the base path of the cache is static and all repos are stored under it.
-            When to use this mode:
-                - All repos from the Hugging Face Hub need to be shared by users across all flow executions.

-        Each caching scope comes with its own trade-offs:
-        - `checkpoint`:
-            - Has explicit control over when caches are populated (controlled by the same flow that has the `@huggingface_hub` decorator) but ends up hitting the Hugging Face Hub more often if there are many users/namespaces/steps.
-            - Since objects are written on a `namespace/flow/step` basis, the blast radius of a bad checkpoint is limited to a particular flow in a namespace.
-        - `flow`:
-            - Has less control over when caches are populated (can be written by any execution instance of a flow from any namespace) but results in more cache hits.
-            - The blast radius of a bad checkpoint is limited to all runs of a particular flow.
-            - It doesn't promote cache reuse across flows.
-        - `global`:
-            - Has no control over when caches are populated (can be written by any flow execution) but has the highest cache hit rate.
-            - It promotes cache reuse across flows.
-            - The blast radius of a bad checkpoint spans every flow that could be using a particular repo.
+    - Using Loaded Checkpoints
     
-    load: Union[List[str], List[Tuple[Dict, str]], List[Tuple[str, str]], List[Dict], None]
-        The list of repos (models/datasets) to load.
+    ```python

+    @checkpoint
+    @step
+    def train(self):

+            print("Loaded checkpoint from the previous attempt")
+            checkpoint_path = current.checkpoint.directory
     
-        Loaded repos can be accessed via `current.huggingface_hub.loaded`. If load is set, then the following happens:
+        model = create_model(self.parameters, checkpoint_path = checkpoint_path)
+        for i in range(self.epochs):

-        - If repo (model/dataset) is not found in the datastore:
-            - Downloads the repo from Hugging Face Hub to a temporary directory (or uses specified path) for local access
-            - Stores it in Metaflow's datastore (s3/gcs/azure etc.) with a unique name based on repo_type/repo_id
-                - All HF models loaded for a `@step` will be cached separately under flow/step/namespace.
     
-        - If repo is found in the datastore:
-            - Loads it directly from datastore to local path (can be temporary directory or specified path)

+        - `flow`: All repos are cached under the flow, regardless of namespace.
+            i.e., the cached path is derived solely from the flow name.
+            When to use this mode:
+                - Multiple users are executing the same flow and want shared access to the repos cached by the decorator.
+                - Multiple versions of a flow are deployed, all needing access to the same repos cached by the decorator.
     
-    - Using Loaded Checkpoints
+        - `global`: All repos are cached under a globally static path.
+            i.e., the base path of the cache is static and all repos are stored under it.
+            When to use this mode:
+                - All repos from the Hugging Face Hub need to be shared by users across all flow executions.
     
-    ```python
-    @retry(times=3)
-    @checkpoint
-    @step
-    def train(self):
-        # Assume that the task has restarted and the previous attempt of the task
-        # saved a checkpoint
-        checkpoint_path = None

-            print("Loaded checkpoint from the previous attempt")
-            checkpoint_path = current.checkpoint.directory
+        Each caching scope comes with its own trade-offs:
+        - `checkpoint`:
+            - Has explicit control over when caches are populated (controlled by the same flow that has the `@huggingface_hub` decorator) but ends up hitting the Hugging Face Hub more often if there are many users/namespaces/steps.
+            - Since objects are written on a `namespace/flow/step` basis, the blast radius of a bad checkpoint is limited to a particular flow in a namespace.
+        - `flow`:
+            - Has less control over when caches are populated (can be written by any execution instance of a flow from any namespace) but results in more cache hits.
+            - The blast radius of a bad checkpoint is limited to all runs of a particular flow.
+            - It doesn't promote cache reuse across flows.
+        - `global`:
+            - Has no control over when caches are populated (can be written by any flow execution) but has the highest cache hit rate.
+            - It promotes cache reuse across flows.
+            - The blast radius of a bad checkpoint spans every flow that could be using a particular repo.

+    load: Union[List[str], List[Tuple[Dict, str]], List[Tuple[str, str]], List[Dict], None]
+        The list of repos (models/datasets) to load.
     
+        Loaded repos can be accessed via `current.huggingface_hub.loaded`. If load is set, then the following happens:
     
-    Parameters
-    ----------
-    load_policy : str, default: "fresh"
-        The policy for loading the checkpoint. The following policies are supported:
-            - "eager": Loads the the latest available checkpoint within the namespace.
-            With this mode, the latest checkpoint written by any previous task (can be even a different run) of the step
-            will be loaded at the start of the task.
-            - "none": Do not load any checkpoint
-            - "fresh": Loads the lastest checkpoint created within the running Task.
-            This mode helps loading checkpoints across various retry attempts of the same task.
-            With this mode, no checkpoint will be loaded at the start of a task but any checkpoints
-            created within the task will be loaded when the task is retries execution on failure.
+        - If repo (model/dataset) is not found in the datastore:
+            - Downloads the repo from Hugging Face Hub to a temporary directory (or uses specified path) for local access
+            - Stores it in Metaflow's datastore (s3/gcs/azure etc.) with a unique name based on repo_type/repo_id
+                - All HF models loaded for a `@step` will be cached separately under flow/step/namespace.
     
-    temp_dir_root : str, default: None
-        The root directory under which `current.checkpoint.directory` will be created.
+        - If repo is found in the datastore:
+            - Loads it directly from datastore to local path (can be temporary directory or specified path)

-    Allows setting external datastores to save data for the
-    `@checkpoint`/`@model`/`@huggingface_hub` decorators.
-    
-    This decorator is useful when users wish to save data to a different datastore
-    than what is configured in Metaflow. This can be for variety of reasons:
-    
-    1. Data security: The objects needs to be stored in a bucket (object storage) that is not accessible by other flows.
-    2. Data Locality: The location where the task is executing is not located in the same region as the datastore.
-        - Example: Metaflow datastore lives in US East, but the task is executing in Finland datacenters.
-    3. Data Lifecycle Policies: The objects need to be archived / managed separately from the Metaflow managed objects.
-        - Example: Flow is training very large models that need to be stored separately and will be deleted more aggressively than the Metaflow managed objects.
-    
-    Usage:
-    ----------
-    
-    - Using a custom IAM role to access the datastore.
-    
-        ```python
-        @with_artifact_store(
-            type="s3",

-        )
-        class MyFlow(FlowSpec):

-                self.external_bucket_checkpoint = current.checkpoint.save("my_file.txt")
-                self.next(self.end)
-    
-        ```
-    
-    - Using credentials to access the s3-compatible datastore.
-    
-        ```python
-        @with_artifact_store(
-            type="s3",

-                self.next(self.end)
-    
-        ```
-    
-    - Accessing objects stored in external datastores after task execution.

+    Allows setting external datastores to save data for the
+    `@checkpoint`/`@model`/`@huggingface_hub` decorators.
+    
+    This decorator is useful when users wish to save data to a different datastore
+    than what is configured in Metaflow. This can be for variety of reasons:
+    
+    1. Data security: The objects needs to be stored in a bucket (object storage) that is not accessible by other flows.
+    2. Data Locality: The location where the task is executing is not located in the same region as the datastore.
+        - Example: Metaflow datastore lives in US East, but the task is executing in Finland datacenters.
+    3. Data Lifecycle Policies: The objects need to be archived / managed separately from the Metaflow managed objects.
+        - Example: Flow is training very large models that need to be stored separately and will be deleted more aggressively than the Metaflow managed objects.
+    
+    Usage:
+    ----------
+    
+    - Using a custom IAM role to access the datastore.
+    
+        ```python
+        @with_artifact_store(
+            type="s3",

+                "role_arn": ROLE,
+            },
+        )
+        class MyFlow(FlowSpec):
+    
+            @checkpoint
+            @step
+            def start(self):
+                with open("my_file.txt", "w") as f:
+                    f.write("Hello, World!")
+                self.external_bucket_checkpoint = current.checkpoint.save("my_file.txt")
+                self.next(self.end)
+    
+        ```
+    
+    - Using credentials to access the s3-compatible datastore.
+    
+        ```python
+        @with_artifact_store(
+            type="s3",
