Send the quiz back to draft, fix it, publish again

When a mistake in a question or an answer key turns up after publishing, a teacher can send a ClassTablet quiz back to draft. While it is a draft no student can start it, and the teacher can correct the questions and publish it again through the normal route.

How it is done today

Just after publishing, somebody points out that the answer key on question three is wrong. Fixing it while the quiz is live means the students who sat it early and those who sit it later did not take the same paper, and building a fresh quiz instead leaves the earlier submissions stranded somewhere else.

How it works

  1. 1

    Open the quiz in the editor

    Open the published quiz from the classroom's list. The editor shows at the top that the quiz is currently published.

  2. 2

    Take the revert action

    Choose the action that sends the quiz back to draft. It only works on a quiz that is published right now, which the server enforces.

  3. 3

    Fix the questions

    Back in draft, questions, options, correct answers and points are all editable again, with nothing to rebuild from scratch.

  4. 4

    Publish it again

    Once corrected, the publish control returns. Publishing sends the notification to the assigned classrooms again, as it did the first time.

Frequently asked questions

Can students sit the quiz while it is a draft?

No. Starting an attempt requires the quiz to be in a published state, so while it sits in draft nobody can begin it, which is the point of sending it back.

Can a closed quiz be reverted to draft?

No. Reverting works only on a quiz that is currently published, not one that has been closed. The server refuses the request outright rather than failing quietly.

Would building a new quiz be better?

If you only need to correct a mistake, reverting is simpler, because every other question and setting stays as it was. When you want a genuinely different paper, duplicating the quiz is the better route.
