Click the invite you just created.
Click Copy invite link in the top-left corner and share the link with attendees.
Attendees can access the invite link 24 hours before the start time, and the invite will be labeled Active.
Step 3. View dashboard and run event
You can view a live progress of leaners from the Web UI.
From the Invite details page, click Go to Live dashboard. As learners access the link, the dashboard will populate with their names, and show their progress.
On each learner's row in the dashboard, you can click ••• to perform the following actions:
Inspect sandbox: Connect to the live instance of that sandbox
View activity: View a log of every action the learner has taken in the event
View sandboxes: View a list of all the sandboxes the learner has created
Remove attendee: Kick the learner out of the event
Step 4. Analyze event activity
You export invite activity reports through the Web UI.
Once your event is finished, from the Invite details page, click View activity report. This is an exportable activity report to view all the learner data relating to the event. The activity report includes information like how long each learner spent in tracks, how many attempts they took, etc.

No. The invite link will expire on the end date, meaning that new attendees will not be able access it. Attendees who previously accessed the link (before or during the event), will remain access to the invite and its content. You can set additional restrictions to further limit access.
Tip: remove the end date on your Live Event to make the invite link accessible forever.
Is there a limit to the number of attendees that can join simultaneously?
No, in theory there's no limit, but a higher number of attendees will likely increase the time to create their sandboxes. To mitigate this, we recommend setting up a scheduled Hot Start pool.
Are attendees notified when I inspect their sandbox?
No, an attendee won't see when you're inspecting their sandbox. If this is a concern for you, we recommend giving them a heads-up or asking for consent before inspecting.
When inspecting an attendee's sandbox, is my/their activity reflected immediately?
No. The attendee must refresh their page in order to see any changes to made by you. You must also refresh your page to see any changes made by the attendee.
