The changes become visible to participants when clicking the ‘Release” button on the top of the page. Attention! Before you release a drill, it is not visible to participants. Even if you make changes to a drill that is already available to participants, you must first click on ‘Release’ before the changes are actually implemented in the version that participants see.

Now the drill can be published in the drillstore, forwarded to users, added to groups and courses, and used for tests. Attention! You can only publish drills in the drillstore if your account allows it. You can find more information about the different accounts here.

It is possible to work and change drills with multiple people. To do this, co-authors must be assigned.

1. Click on ‘Co-author’ at the top of the page.
2. Fill in a name or email address and click on ‘Add’.

Co-authorship can be revoked when, for example, someone leaves the team, or is no longer involved in the project. Again, make sure you release the drill before sharing it with the co-authors, to make sure everyone is working in the latest version.

Before using your drill, think about adding an icon and a cover. This will give the look and feel that belongs to the subject or theme of the subject, besides that it can give a drill the look and feel of your organization. Click here for the dimensions of these parts.
