  - The checkbox allows students to ask a question about the published work. When checking this box, students have the right to ask about their work or the way of grading.
  - Choose Directly if the students are allowed to ask questions right after pressing Publish on the bottom of the pop-up

The publication can be revoked if changes have to be made in the options or if the results should not be published anymore.
