- If Release Conditions are set, check the box(es) to enter a new time window for the student to be able to view and open the item. (Optional).
- *Note: if you enter a Hide after date that is the same as the due date, the time would need be at least one minute later. (e.g. if your due date was 9/27/24 at 10:00 am, Hide after would have to be 9/27/24 at 10:01 am or later.
- If you are allowing an additional attempt, use the drop down arrow to adjust number of attempts.

You may select all 3 options, or only use the one needed for that particular item.
