# Publishing

Once you have configured all of the settings for your exam and set the open window on the schedule page, you must now publish the exam.  Previously selecting 'Schedule' on the schedule page was the final step in setting an exam live.  Scheduling now behaves in the same way as other settings in that it is set and saved.

The final step now is to Publish the exam.  This is done on the new Version Management page.  You can find this towards the bottom of the list of config tabs.  Alternatively, you can click on the 'Go to Publish' button which can be found to the top left of the page, beneath the exam name and id

### Version Management page and publishing

On the Version Management page you can view all of the settings you have selected for the exams.  You can also navigate directly to the settings page for each from this page to change them if needed.

Once you have checked over all of these settings you can publish the exam at the bottom of the page.

Publishing will generate attempts for any users already in the group, and you can see these on the Attempt Management page (previously Users). &#x20;

Any users added to the group whilst the start window is open will also have an attempt generated.

### Re-ordering

Once you publish the exam you will notice that the order of the config tabs changes, this is to move the attempt and version management pages to the top of the list so they are easier to find.
