Once you're all finished, hit "Save & Close" for a final time at the bottom of your quiz builder. Then hit "Save" in the upper-right-hand corner of your draft.

If your scale quiz is selected for a homepage feature, you'll get an email and a few new things will be added to your quiz: a coveted Quiz badge and a stamp of approval from the BuzzFeed Community team!
