Publishing and Unpublishing a Test

Introduction

A test must be published before it can be seen and used by users. Before a test as a whole is published, the following parts of the test have to be published by following the order below:

·        The questions in a task

·        The tasks in a section

·        The sections in a test

You cannot publish an empty task or section. Once all of the levels (questions, tasks, and sections) are published, you can publish the entire test.

Unpublishing a test prevents it from being completed by users. Once a test is unpublished, all user responses are deleted. You need to unpublish a test before you can add, edit, or delete more sections, tasks, and questions.

1.      Select Courses, then Assessment.

2.      Locate the test you want to manage.
