* **Unlock Assignments :**&#x20;

&#x20;This option lets you make the assignment publicly viewable—regardless of whether the course is paid or free. When enabled (`YES`), the assignment becomes accessible to all users and is **not restricted** by the *"Curriculum Completion Lock"*.

* **Subtitle :**&#x20;

Use this field to provide a subtitle for your assignment. This will appear just below the assignment title on the quiz/assignment page, offering additional context.

* **Maximum Mark :**&#x20;

Set the maximum score for the assignment (default is 100). This value will be used during grading, but admins/instructors can override it while evaluating the submission.

* **Pass Percentage (%) :**&#x20;

&#x20;Specify the minimum percentage required to pass the assignment (default: 100%). *Note: This setting is reserved for future use. We welcome your feedback and suggestions for its implementation.*

* **Enable Text Area :**&#x20;

&#x20;Enable this option if you want students to submit notes along with their assignment. It’s useful for providing context, explanations, or additional comments during submission.

* **Enable Attachment :**&#x20;

Toggle this option to allow or restrict students from uploading files along with their submission.

**Duration :**  Specify how long the assignment should take to complete. This duration will be shown on the course detail page. If **Drip Feed** is enabled for your course, this duration acts as a *threshold* before unlocking the next curriculum item.
