Open config.json, locate the port field, and change it to a free port number (e.g., 8081, 5000, 9000). Save the file and restart the software.

Copy the Admin Access Code from config.json, open your browser to the address shown by the software, and enter the code to unlock the admin panel. You can update this code anytime for security.

Create your quiz on cbthost.com, export questions as a .json file, then import this file in the Import Questions section of your offline software. All questions must be created through cbthost.com for compatibility.
