3. Release Conditions
Additional Release Conditions can be attached to the quiz to make the quiz available to only those students that comply with the conditions; for example a quiz is only available once all the items from a checklist are submitted.
- Add Existing - when release conditions have been created before in the course, these can be implemented by selecting this option
- Create New - to create new release conditions

When release conditions are added, select the option whether students have to meet one of these conditions (Any condition must be met) or all conditions (All conditions must be met).
