Unmarked questions: These questions are collected but don't contribute to the overall score, allowing you to include optional or non-scored elements.

Answer	Yes, you can reward users with points for successfully passing a test. This incentivizes participation and encourages users to engage with your content.

Answer	Composr provides several features to enhance quiz security and prevent cheating: Restrict access: Limit quiz participation to specific usergroups or newsletter subscribers. Shuffle content: Randomize question and answer order to make it harder to copy answers. Set time limits: Enforce quiz completion within a specified timeframe. Define open time ranges: Control when the quiz is accessible to participants.

Question	How do I create and manage quizzes in Composr?
Answer	You can create, edit, and delete quizzes from the Composr Admin Zone: Navigate to Admin Zone (or CMS Zone) > Content > Quizzes.

Tests: Tests assess knowledge with right and wrong answers and provide immediate feedback to participants, including pass/fail results. They're suitable for evaluating understanding of a topic. Competitions: These quizzes rank participants based on their scores, allowing you to select winners. Competitions are great for engaging users and promoting specific content or events.

Question	How does rank work in Conversr?
Answer	Conversr utilizes a rank system based on your accumulated rank points. As you earn points, you progress through different usergroups, unlocking new privileges and benefits. Your rank is a status symbol within the community and often grants access to exclusive features or content. This is subject to your configuration. To make a rank ladder based on points, go to Admin Zone > Security > Usergroups. You are given options regarding ranks when adding or editing a usergroup. Members can see their rank and progress on their member profile rank tab. They can also see all the rank-based benefits they unlocked and ones yet to unlock in future ranks.

Question	What is points escrow and when would I use it?
Answer	Points escrow is a system that holds points securely during transactions involving a written agreement, often for a product or service. This ensures trust and provides a resolution mechanism in case of disputes. Creating an Escrow: You initiate an escrow on the member's profile points tab, specifying the amount, reason, and any agreement details. Points Held: The points are deducted from your balance and held by the system. Agreement Fulfillment: Both parties must mark the escrow as satisfied upon fulfilling the agreement. Points Release: Once both parties are satisfied, the recipient receives the points. Disputes: If either party has a dispute, they can dispute the escrow, which then locks it down and notifies a staff member to review and take a resolution action.

Question	Can I create a leaderboard to showcase top point earners?
Answer	Yes, Composr offers a leaderboard block and module to display top point holders. You can customize the leaderboard to show weekly, monthly, or yearly rankings, filter by usergroups, and exclude staff members if desired. This can encourage healthy competition and motivate members to earn points. Go to Admin Zone > Setup > Leader-boards to create a leader-board.

Question	How can I modify points for members?
Answer	Staff members with the "Moderate members' points" privilege can directly credit or debit points from members' accounts. This can be used to reward exceptional contributions, refund purchases, or penalize rule violations.

Question	What is the purpose of the points ledger?
Answer	The ledger provides a transparent and immutable record of every point transaction on the website. It ensures accountability and allows members to track their point activity. Members can view their own ledger, and with the appropriate privilege, they can also see the ledgers of others.
