Create a Challenge activity
Test your participants' knowledge on the questions of your choice ! Perfect for knowing the level of each and to do some competitions!
Attention! The Challenge is an activity only available in the scroll mode by the animator.
To add a Challenge activity, click on “Add a slide” at the top left of your session, then select the “Challenge” activity in the drop-down menu that appears on the left.
When you choose the "Challenge" activity, the interface adapts instantly: a dedicated editing panel appears on the right of your screen, allowing you to customise your activity. At the same time, the system automatically saves your activity with the same name as the newly created activity (in this case, Challenge) and integrates it into your presentation, visible as a slide in the left-hand navigation bar.
