6. Describe the homework assignment in text, add formatting (styles using the formatting toolbar/editor, switching between the Markdown/WYSIWYG tabs).
   At the bottom of the text field, there are two input mode switches:
   Markdown is a way of formatting text using simple symbols. For example, bold or # Heading. The text looks like plain code, and formatting is applied only after saving or previewing. Suitable for those who prefer fast, keyboard-based text editing.
   WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) is a familiar mode, like in Word or Google Docs. You immediately see how the text will look: bold appears bold, headings appear large. Recommended for most teachers.

   💡 Tip: if you are unsure which mode to choose, use WYSIWYG.

7. Add links to videos or websites.
8. Attach files or presentations.
9. Add a prepared quiz if needed.
10. Select whether the task requires manual review. If the assignment includes a quiz and the “Assignment needs to be checked” toggle is off, the quiz result will be calculated automatically. If the quiz contains free response questions, reviewing the student’s answer will be required as a part of the home assignment check.

    ℹ️ If you click ... in the class column and choose Agenda/Topic, a class topic editing window will pop up.Here a teacher also has an option to add a quiz. If a teacher adds a quiz here, the class topic is automatically converted into home assignment.

11. Save the assignment.
12. Check if a checkmark appears next to "Assignment" and that the book icon in the column header changes to green.
