Creating quizzes

Admins, workspace managers, and leads can create quizzes. All quizzes are multiple choice.

Quizzes are specific to workspaces. Any team member in the workspace can take the quiz, but users can take each quiz only once. They can’t take the same quiz again in another workspace. A quiz made available to “all workspaces” isn’t available to workspaces created after the quiz is published.

Quiz questions can include text and images, but answers are text only. A question can have more than one correct answer, in which case the participant must select all of them to be marked correct.

After a quiz is published, it can’t be modified. However, it can be deleted. Admins and workspace managers can delete any published quiz. Workspace managers and leads can delete a published quiz only if they created it.

To create a quiz
  1. In Quality assurance, click Coaching in the sidebar.
  2. Click Quizzes.
  3. Click + Quiz.
  4. Enter a Quiz title and, optionally, a Description.
  5. Under Quiz access, select one or more workspaces you want the quiz to be available in.
  6. Enter the text of the first question.
  7. (Optional) If you want to include an image in the question, click the image icon () to add an image in PNG, GIF, WEBP, or JPG format.
  8. Under Options, add each of the potential answers and click the checkbox next to the answers that are correct.
  9. To add another question, click Add question, or click the duplicate question icon () on a previous question to use a copy of it as a starting point.
  10. To make changes to a question, perform one of the following actions:
    • To reposition a question within the quiz, click the up () or down icon ().
    • To remove a question, click the remove icon ().
    • To reposition an option within a question, use the grabber icon () to manually reorder the options.
    • To remove an option within a question, click the delete icon (x) next to the option you want to remove.
  11. Click Preview to preview your quiz.
  12. Click Save as draft to save it without publishing or click Publish to share the quiz with your team.

    When you save as a draft, you can edit and publish your draft quiz later. Once you publish a quiz, you can’t modify it. Draft quizzes and published active quizzes are available on the Quizzes page.
