Verifying if test instructions are visible in the notification email sent to candidates #
Navigate to the System section in the left side menu, and select Settings and customization.
Navigate to the Notifications tab. In this tab, you can customize, enable and disable e-mail and application notifications.
After navigating to the Notification event name column, locate the Test published event, and select the Edit button in the Template message column for Email notification.
