This great plugin is installed in our university and helps professors to have assign for exams with random statements while correcting each statement in a separate assign.
We suggested the professors to configure their assign as [stealth activities|https://docs.moodle.org/311/en/Stealth_activities] so that they may be coupled with the random activity. But we noticed a problem : stealth activities are shown in the timeline dashboard block. It is therefore important to configure each assign with access restrictions. In your documentation, you tell to put assigns in an hidden section but when assigns are hidden they may not be accessed by students, so assigns must be made visible at the exam moment manually or using a restriction.
We find it to be a bug that stealth activities appear in the timeline block and we declared this bug here :
https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-73535
Wathever happens, it would be important to have a remark on the use of stealth activities in your plugin documentation.
