2. Select your file by clicking on it and click Open. This will open to the Edit screen to view the questions.
3. Select the Preview + Publish tab.
4. In the Preview section, select Preview the File. This will open into a new window and allow you to check the question and answer formatting, as well as confirming the correct answer.  If changes need to be made, click the Modify item button, make the changes, and then click Save Changes to return to the preview. When you are done previewing the file, click Done and return to the Preview + Publish tab.
5. To publish the assessment to Canvas, select Publish on the menu and click on Publish Wizard.
6. If using in one section, Type of Publish is Publish to a single course.
7. Select your Canvas server link from the drop down if it is not already visible and click Next. If you have not setup your connection to Canvas yet, please go to our Connecting Respondus 4.0 to Canvas article.
8. From the new Publish Wizard window, select Graded Quiz for the assessment type.

13. The status window will update as the file is uploaded to your course.  When you see -Publish Completed Successfully- you can click Finish.
14. Now go to your course within Canvas to verify the quiz has uploaded and that all questions look correct.
