Publish results

play_circle_outline  Check out how to publish results on our  YouTube channel.

After your assignment has been reviewed, you can create a publication so the participants of the assignment can view their results. There are currently two ways to publish results: the new way of publishing via the results overview and the previous way of publishing using publication timeslots.

With the new way of publishing, you can create and manage publications directly from the results overview. You can choose when, for whom, and what results are published. With the previous way of publishing, you can create publication timeslots via the settings of your assignment or the results overview. The new way of publishing is available for assignments that do not have any publications yet. Assignments with existing publication timeslots will continue using the previous way of publishing. 

More information on how students are informed and what they see during these publications can be found here for Digital tests and here for written assignments.

With the previous way of publishing, you can create publication timeslots via the settings of your assignment or the results overview. A timeslot is linked to a specific selection (e.g., 'All learners' or a specific group), and only one timeslot per selection can be added. In both cases you can you can find an overview of all publication timeslots in the assignment settings. You can click Add timeslot again in both locations to create a new publication time window for a different group of students.

Mandatory end-date for publication timeslots

Mandatory end-date for publication timeslots

When creating a publication timeslot, you must select both a start and an end date and time. Both are required. The end date must be before the start of the 2027 school year. The exact date depends on the school year start month configured by your school.

error_outline The Publication settings page displays a warning with the applicable end date and a link to the results overview, where results can be published after this date.

Existing timeslots without an end date, or with an end date on or after the start of the 2027 school year, have automatically been given that date as their end date. If the period for asking questions extended beyond this date, asking questions has been disabled for that timeslot.
