How to Set Invitation Expiry for Your Assessment

Set an invitation expiry on your assessment to ensure candidates complete it within your required timeframe. Once configured, Testlify automatically blocks access after the deadline.

Before you begin

You need an existing assessment in your Testlify workspace and Editor or Admin access to modify its settings.

Steps to set invitation expiry

1. Log in to your Testlify workspace at https://app.testlify.com/login.

   

2. Go to the Assessment Dashboard.

   

3. Click the assessment you want to configure.

   

4. Click Edit to open the assessment editor.

   

5. In the left sidebar, select Settings.

   

6. Click Access. Configure the following, then click Save:

   • Validity — set a number of days or a specific date and time.
   • Attempts — optionally limit how many times a candidate can attempt the assessment.

   

Once saved, Testlify enforces the expiry automatically. Candidates who try to access the assessment after the deadline will be blocked.

Tip: Use a date-based expiry instead of a day count when all candidates must finish by a specific deadline, such as the close of a hiring round.
