Your list of items will appear on the assessment builder page. Once questions exist on your assessment, you can perform a number of options:

1. Click on add section to create a section for this assessment. One thing to note, if a question is part of a section, then all questions need to be in a section. You cannot have some of the questions in a section and some questions not in section.
2. Click on the hamburger icon next to each item to drag/reorder the items on your test.
3. Click the cog wheel to delete an item you have chosen and no longer want on your test. 

When all the questions have been added and the assessment is considered complete, perform the following two steps:

1. Click Preview to view a live version of the assessment exactly as a student would see it with all test settings and accommodations.
2. Click Publish once the assessment is fully complete and no more edits will be made.  NOTE: An assessment can be unpublished until a student rosters to an administration. Once a student is added to an administration, the assessment cannot be unpublished. Assessments can only be edited when they are unpublished.
