  - **New**

  - **Published**
- Go to **New** and click into a new question on the three-point icon

- Select the colleagues to whom you want to assign the question and click on **Assign**
  - **Please note:** These colleagues need to have user rights **View Questions and Answers** before you can select and assign them.
- Move the question you have assigned to the **In Progress **tab, ready for your colleagues to answer
