How do I edit a quiz?

Updated on

There are two ways to edit an existing quiz:

  1. By using the Quiz Quick menu.
  2. By using Bulk Edit on the quiz homepage.

If you want to edit the content of a quiz, you can do so via Edit. If you want to change the name, category, status and/or the number of submission attempts (of several quizzes at once), you can easily do so via Bulk Edit.

Editing content (Edit)

  1. Go to Activities in the navbar of your course.
  2. Click Quizzes. You will now end up at the quiz homepage and see an overview of all your quizzes.
  1. Click the fold-out arrow of a quiz.
  2. Next, click Edit.

You will be taken to the same screen as when creating a new quiz. Take a look at that manual to see what options you have.

When you copy a quiz in its entirety, you immediately enter the editing screen of the copied quiz. This copied quiz is automatically set to Hidden. So the copied quiz has to be made visible to students first.

Editing the name, category, status and/or submission attempts (Bulk Edit)

  1. Go to Activities in the navbar of your course.
  2. Click Quizzes. You will now end up at the quiz homepage and see an overview of all your quizzes.
  3. Select the quizzes you wish to edit.
  4. Click Bulk Edit.
  1. Change the name of the quiz/quizzes.
  2. Change the category of a quiz or quizzes (or add a new category).
  3. Change the status of a quiz or quizzes. Enable Hide from Users to make a quiz invisible for students (a quiz is automatically accessible for students once you save it, unless you enable this option).  
  4. Change the maximum number of allowed attempts.
  5. Click Save to save the changes made.
