   On a dashboard card, or "Go live →" in the editor.

   
2. 2

   Choose the pace

   • "Teacher-paced": everyone sees the same question and you move them on. Best for teaching and discussion.
   • "Self-paced": students move on their own and submit when done. Best for tests and homework.
3. 3

   Choose when students see answers

   • "Right after each answer." Answers lock once submitted. Best for learning.
   • "At the end." Students can change answers until the end, then see everything.
   • "Never." Students only see their score. Best for exams.
4. 4

   Timers (optional)

   • "Whole-test time limit (self-paced)": answers submit automatically at zero.
   • "Per-question countdown (teacher-paced)": answering closes when it ends; you still choose when to move on.

   Other options

   • "One name per session": a second student with the same name is asked to add an initial.
   • "Let students look back at earlier questions and change those answers".
   • "Send my notes and ink to students straight away": untick to hold your comments until the end.
   • "Shuffle answer options" and "Shuffle question order" for each student.
