Just enrolled and completed the 'Arranging Flows' section, however...
It marked me down to 94% because of the below question :grimacing:
I did however select the correct answer, so I retook the recap again, and again it marked me down for the same question.
Is there a bug @joepavitt?

Isn't it the third one that should be selected?

Well it describes the second one as being the correct answer in the screenshot, and notice the 2 tick marks, one presumably shows what I answered, and the other is the correct answer.

I think it's a cunning trick question :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

I've been using the comment wrong all this time. :face_with_open_eyes_and_hand_over_mouth:
I had that information pane down as useless too. :grimacing:

Both the second and third ones are correct. Is it a single choice question?

Though the third one is grammatically incorrect.

It doesn't display comments in the flow tab, its the sidebar surely?

Here a comment node is used to add a comment to the flow tab

IMO that should be the title of the comment, and the comment content should be displayed in the sidebar which can be formatted in Markdown.

Example -
side1

Thanks Paul, I did multiple run throughs and never hit this issue, but will investigate

Every day is a learning day!

Going back through the course I have to add this note.
Unable to scroll the videos to move forward or back to skip all ready watched section or to repeat a section.
Chrome Android. browser.

Fine in brave browser.

@joepavitt, is not the third selection also true? Comment nodes can be (and are) used to add comments to the flow tab.

I can see the confusion here. That is one of my contributions to the questions. My intent was "The comment node adds its documentation in the sidebar for the tab (i.e. when tab selected)". Worse phrasing but clearer. It is surprisingly difficult to word a question that sounds plausible and doesnt give away the answer while not being too vague :smiley:

What is the reason for putting this behind a registration ?

We are using LearnWorlds which provides us which a lot of great tooling for exams, assessments, including different media types, issuing formal certifications, etc. With that, an account is needed to take the course.

We kept it free to make it accessible for all, even though this has been a significant investment for FlowFuse.

Yeah, I will refer to Steve's answer, but I do agree it's vague. I'll modify the answers to that question. Thanks for the feedback.

Update: Done - I've removed the "tab" answer entirely to avoid confusion

Hmmm, this works fine in the desktop Chrome, and because we're using an education platform for this (it's not a homegrown solution), we don't have much control over that unfortunately.

Just checked your assessment, you got Question 15 wrong, which was the one mistake
