Step Contents

Step contents are the rich-text messages wrapped around the exam itself — what candidates read before they press start and what they see after they finish. The exam questions live in the test; the framing lives here, in two editors: Instruction and Finishing.

Instruction — Before the Exam

The instruction content appears with the step in the candidate's workspace — it is your chance to set expectations while the candidate can still act on them:

• What the step covers, how long it takes, and how it is scored.
• What the candidate needs ready — a quiet room, a working webcam, scratch paper, a calculator if allowed.
• The rules that matter: navigation restrictions, whether they can pause, what happens on disconnect.

Finishing — After the Exam

The finishing content shows once the candidate completes the step — it has its own show/hide toggle, so it only appears when you've written something. Use it to confirm the submission landed, say when and how results arrive, and point to what happens next: the next step of the task, or nothing more to do. This is also where a thank-you message belongs.

Both areas use the full rich content editor — formatting, images, video, links — so instructions can show rather than tell.

Instruction vs Notice: step contents are ambient reading in the workspace; the pre-start Notice is a blocking gate the candidate must explicitly acknowledge. Put orientation here, and put the rules you need acknowledged into the Notice (see Pre-Start).
