Manage the launch page
You can manage the presence of the launch page for an activity (lesson or assignment) using the activity's properties.
The launch page acts as a landing page when a student launches an activity to inform them of any important activity properties and access conditions relating to the activity.
The information on the launch page:
Impacts a student's decision to begin their attempt.
Example — If the launch page displays a time limit of 25 minutes but the student only has 10 minutes before another commitment, they can decide if they want to begin their attempt or delay their attempt to a later point in time.
Indicates a student's eligibility to begin their attempt.
Example — If the launch page displays that the student has already used up all of their available attempts at the activity, they'll be informed that they can't begin an additional attempt.

To enable or disable the launch page:
Navigate to the Properties tab of the Lesson Editor for your lesson, or the Properties tab of the Assignment Editor for your assignment.
Navigate to the General Properties section of the activity's properties.
Select whether you want the Show Launch Page property enabled (On) or disabled (Off).
