Assignments must be published for students to view them. This "locks down" the assignment and generates randomized versions for each student based on the randomization settings you specified. For more information about controlling randomization click here: Randomization within Assignments.
When you've proofed your assignment and made sure it is exactly what you want, click the central green 'publish' button. This process usually takes a few minutes, but may take longer depending on system demands. The date and time the assignment was published will be shown in the header of the assignment page.
After pushing publish, this button will disappear and there will be an updated timestamp underneath the published wording instead.
