Looking good! Will hold off on approving until this has actually shipped and the product copy / layout / etc. are finalized.

For nearly a decade, PrairieLearn has been the best way to administer online exams, especially for instructors who want powerful features like dynamic question content and the ability to manage their course material through Git. Today, we're bringing the best of PrairieLearn out of cyberspace and into your printer, with support for generating and printing paper versions of your PrairieLearn exams and homework assignments.

With our new printable exam features, instructors can preview and adjust student copies, then download PDF exams and answer keys or editable Word copies. Booklets can include up to 500 student copies.

We went out of our way to say "homeworks and exams" above. IMO we should say "assessment" here, and pretty much everywhere else we currently say "printable/printed exam"

Nit, two back to back headings that talk about "dynamic", and "dynamic" and "live" sort of work as synonyms here. Do you have any more puns that relate to configuration/settings/etc? 😂

We're happy to announce that exam print preparation is available now in PrairieLearn. Set up a printable exam today, and for instructions and more information, check out [the Printable Exams documentation](https://docs.prairielearn.com/assessment/printable-exams/).

Nit: "printable exams" even made its way into the docs + URL here. Should that also be made more generic to discuss "assessments"?
