From content to a scheduled exam.
A two-layer model — reusable blueprint, executable instance — so running the same exam next term is configuration, not a project.
Library versus assessment
An Assessment Library is the reusable blueprint: sections, pinned questions, pools, blueprint generation, duration and passing criteria. An Assessment is the executable instance built from it — scheduled, assigned and published. That separation is what makes reuse possible.
Scheduling and availability
A fixed window everyone shares, a window per candidate, or always open. Timezone-aware, with max attempts, cooldown between attempts, and a best-score policy of highest, latest or average.
Access and invitations
Invite only, candidate login required, or a public link. Notifications by email or SMS, with invitation, reminder and completion messages controlled independently.
Publish freezes the paper
Publishing snapshots the questions, options, answer keys, translations and settings. Later edits to the bank never alter a paper someone has already sat — which is the answer to the only question that matters in a dispute.
