Best Practices

To make the most of the Published tab:

• Review every published exam before distributing it.
• Print from the PDF version whenever possible.
• Keep copies of important published exams in a separate archive location.
• Remove obsolete published files to keep the publication list organized.
• Use soft delete when cleaning up older publications so they can be restored if needed.
