Adding proctored activities to compositions
You can configure individual activities—such as quizzes—in a composition (course) to be proctored. For example, you might embed a proctored exam at the end of your course. Alternatively, you can create a standalone proctored activity, such as a quiz, that is not embedded in the course structure. See Adding proctored exams as stand-alone activities.

- In the LMS management portal, click
in the upper-left corner. - Go to Teaching > Courses.
- Select the required composition and open for editing.
- Open the Enrollment tab and enroll learners in the exam.
