Question Post
This guide outlines the process for creating, managing, and deleting question posts. Users can compose a question, add attachments, set visibility, and publish it. A post is updated to Answered when commented on and to Solved when the best answer is selected. A post can also be marked as Solved by a teacher for course-based questions. Users can edit, share, or delete their posts, with confirmation steps to ensure secure modifications.
