Pre-open an exam to open an exam immediately
Revert Old feature: make generation and starting exams independent again
When starting exams, previously all random exams were generated before the actual exam could be started. This gave all students the time to already connect to the system, solve any issue and then start all together on the exam. Today, when clicking on “start”, it took several minutes to create all 60+ exams, then every student had to connect, show their id, etc. and we ran into several issues such as wrongly set times on two computers, camera issues etc.
It will be nice if the old functionality comes back.

Hi, thank you for this feedback! You're right — when opening an exam manually with 60+ students, the generation time can create friction, especially when students need to connect and verify their setup beforehand. We're looking into bringing back a pre-opening/pre-generation step, similar to the old "publish" flow, so that all random exams can be generated ahead of time and students can connect before the official start. We'll keep you posted on progress! If you have any other feedback, feel free to share in the meantime.
