# Progressive loading

## Require candidates to answer questions and/or entire sections one-at-a-time

Enabling progressive loading reduces the likelihood of candidates cheating by preventing them from revising answers before submitting them.

Progressive loading can be toggled on for either or both:

- - [Section](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/progressive-loading#progressively-load-section)
    - [Assessment](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/progressive-loading#progressively-load-assessment)

Simply **Edit** any **Assessment**, and then go to the **Settings.** On the right-hand side, toggle on **Progressive** for the entire assessment and/or **Progressive** **loading** for the section.

#### Progressively load questions in a section

With progressive loading disabled, candidates will be able to see all questions at once:

With progressive loading enabled, candidates will only see one question at a time:

#### Progressively load sections in an Assessment

With progressive disabled, candidates will be able to see all sections on the assessment at once:

![](https://help.coderbyte.com/hs-fs/hubfs/CleanShot%202025-08-15%20at%2016-18-21@2x-png.png?width=2458&height=1810&name=CleanShot%202025-08-15%20at%2016-18-21@2x-png.png)

With progressive enabled, each section will load sequentially, requiring candidates to solve each one before progressing to the next section.
