7. To finish, teachers will select 'SAVE AS DRAFT' to save their customized assessment as a draft (a draft cannot be assigned) or 'SAVE & PUBLISH' to save the assessment in a form that makes it available to assign. As always, students won't be able to see the assessment unless it is assigned. When the assessment is saved, it will appear within the PLAN view below the original assessment that it was copied from.
