2. Immediately after uploading the file, click the Published icon and change the file availability to Only available to students with link. Do not move the file into a folder.

5. Add a new question or click to edit an existing question. In the body of the question, type Download the exam file or Open the exam file in a new tab.

7. Click Ok.
