How to add multiple sections to an assessment?

Xobin allows you to create multi-section assessments to evaluate candidates across different skills or topics in a structured way. You can include up to 5 sections, each focusing on specific skill sets such as coding, aptitude, or psychometric analysis — providing a more comprehensive evaluation of each candidate's abilities.
