Get the [public URL](../deliverable8Metrics/deliverable8Metrics.md#make-your-dashboard-public) for your dashboard and submit it to the Canvas assignment. Your URL **must include a specific time range** showing a window when your metrics were actively recording data. To get this URL, set the dashboard time range to a period with nonzero data, then copy the full URL from your browser's address bar — it will include `from` and `to` query parameters. This allows the TAs to verify your metrics at the exact time they were generated.

The submitted URL should look something like this:

```txt
https://youraccounthere.grafana.net/public-dashboards/29305se9fsacc66a21fa91899b75734
https://youraccounthere.grafana.net/public-dashboards/29305se9fsacc66a21fa91899b75734?from=2026-03-26T19:09:00.000Z&to=2026-03-26T19:14:00.000Z&timezone=browser
```


> [!IMPORTANT]

> A URL without a time range will **not** be accepted. Make sure you test your time-ranged URL in an incognito window before submitting. If the TA cannot see nonzero data in the specified window, your submission will be rejected.

Thanks for working to make this better. I think your are on to something.

This part feels a bit strong and repeats itself. Maybe instead use language such as:

The time-range makes it easier for the TA to grade your work. Without the time range, the TA may not be able to correctly evaluate your work.
