Create a new flow version
To be able to add an Assignment to an associated flow (an exam session), you must create a flow version of your assignment. This makes it read-only, i.e. locked for editing. The ability to create a new flow version of your task is only available after you have edited your assignment.
If you need to edit something in an assignment that you have already added to a flow, you delete it from the associated flow (under Associated flows). You then edit your assignment and then you create a new flow version of the assignment (which is locked for editing) to be able to add it to the flow again, under Associated flows.
When you create a flow version, you can add a note. Notes are not mandatory and cannot be changed when you tap Create flow version. If you do not want to enter a note, just click on "Create flow version" to close this box.
Click on Flow version and then Create a new flow version.
Now you get a view of the read-only version of the assignment.

If you have started editing again in an assignment of which you have already created a flow version, you will see a new button appear next to the blue button Flow versions.
If you click this new button you will see all the flow version you have created for this assignment. You will get access to previous flow versions by clicking the arrows to the left (preview)
Attach a flow version of the assignment (exam) to an associated flow (exam session)
By clicking on the reference code you get for a new flow version, you automatically copy that reference code (you "bring" this code with you).

Then click on "Attach".
When this is done, you have added your exam to your exam opportunity!
IMPORTANT! The deadline for attaching or replacing the exam to a flow is the same time as the exam is to start.
BUT if you add / change the exam during the last hour before the start, you must notify this the examination hall alt to the WISEflow administration! Examiners must then update their browsers
to get access / correct version! This is very important!
