2\. Use the setup as-is, or edit it as needed. See [Challenge setup fields](docId\:Hy3r5JpVPh-zIAMvHsry8).

3\. Set the [Menu appearance](docId\:ceoUiF4_lCm4I65KxXKX5) and [Availability](docId\:ceoUiF4_lCm4I65KxXKX5).

4\. In the bottom-right, select **Save and close** or **Save and** **send message.**

- If you opt to [send a message](docId:2VZswdvo8OGaheFDjeZ5J), you'll be brought to the **Compose** page.

The challenge is published to the Challenges section of the app, unless you selected hide/show dates.

**When does scoring for a recurring challenge start?**

Scoring in a recurring challenge starts upon saving, unless it is hidden or disabled. It's recommended to align the start of a recurring challenge with when scoring resets, as follows:

- Start a daily challenge in the morning.
- Start a weekly challenge on Monday.
- Start a monthly challenge on the first day of the month.
- Start a yearly challenge at the beginning of the year.
