Monitoring allows the teacher to monitor the students' contributions to the mindmaps.
The **summary** tab includes the following features:
1. The number of students who added ideas to the mindmap.
2. Option to print the mindmap.
3. Advanced settings set by the teacher while creating the activity.
4. Option to set the deadline.
### Advanced settings
The advanced settings section shows the options that were enabled or disabled by the teacher while creating a mindmap.
## Edit Activity
The edit activity tab allows you, as teacher, to modify the mindmap content and settings.
If you need to edit these or modify the settings you can press the `Edit` button and you will be presented with the author page.
{% hint style="info" %} **Be aware!**\
\
If you are editing an activity that is already been used by students, then students might be slightly confused as they might be viewing older information. So when editing content that is live, make sure that your students know about this.
{% endhint %}
### Restrict access
The **Deadline** setting allows you to **define a specific date and time after which students can no longer access the activity**.
Once the deadline is reached, the activity becomes unavailable to all students, ensuring that activity are completed within the intended timeframe. This is particularly useful for timed activities where fairness and consistency in access are important.
**How it works:**
* You select a date and time using the calendar and time picker
* The system enforces this as a **hard cut-off point**
* After this moment, **students cannot enter or continue** the activity
**Why use a Deadline:**
* Ensures all students complete the activity within the same timeframe
* Supports fair and controlled conditions
* Helps manage pacing in both synchronous and asynchronous lessons
* Reduces the need for manual intervention to close access
This feature gives you precise control over activity availability, helping you maintain structure and integrity it.
This option enables the teachers to set the **deadline** for students after which they will not be allowed to submit the activity.
