Step 6: Save the Quiz and/or make it live
Click the 'preview' button to review it before making it live, and check its look and question flow to inform changes.
Once ready, save all your changes by either saving the Quiz as a draft (and make further edits) or publishing it (if it's ready to be made live for users to take)
- Save as Draft
You will be taken to the front end of the Quiz application. Your Quiz will have a 'draft' label and can be further edited by clicking the 3 dots > Edit.
Only users with permission to manage the Quiz will see it listed when in draft status.
- Publish
Publishing a Quiz makes it live, meaning those with permissions to view or take it will see it listed on the front end of Quiz. Making further edits will put the Quiz back into draft status until it is published again.

Users can follow the link to the Quiz in that email, or browse the Quizzes they have permissions for on the front end of the Quiz application itself.
Otherwise, Quizzes can be used as modules in Courses, so if your team have set these up, ensure users have permissions to complete the Quiz as this will be opened when they click through from the module.
