Can we reuse checkpoints in Spark Streaming?

I am reading data from a Kafka topic, say topic_a.

I have an application, app_one which uses Spark Streaming to read data from topic_a. I have a checkpoint location, loc_a to store the checkpoint.

Now, app_one has read data till offset 90.

Can I create a new notebook, say app_two and then copy the checkpoint folder and point the app_two to this copied checkpoint folder. Will this start reading from offset 90?
