Configure my quiz settings

Feature availability

Warning: These settings affect how key components of your quiz function, and modifying them can result in an incomplete or unintended quiz experience. If you need to change these settings, proceed with caution.

Each quiz includes advanced settings that control key elements of the quiz experience, such as the summary page, answer visibility, and progress indicators. (For individual quiz question settings, see Build a 3D quiz.)

In most cases, these settings do not need to—and should not—be disabled. The default configuration is designed to support effective learning and self-assessment.

However, there are some scenarios where disabling one or more settings may be appropriate, such as graded assessments delivered through an LMS or custom quiz experiences built using the Human Viewer API.

Quiz settings reference

Refer to the table below for details on what each setting controls and when you might consider disabling it.

Setting What it controls Disable if...
Show quiz summary at end

Displays a summary page after the quiz taker completes all questions.

For example, in an 8-question quiz, the summary page appears after question 8 is submitted.

You do not want the quiz taker to see their score or which answers were correct or incorrect.

Note: If your quiz is set to Quiz Only and you select a single question when you publish, the summary page will be disabled automatically, even if this setting is enabled here.
Show answers and explanations Displays correct and incorrect answers after each question is submitted, along with any included explanations.

The quiz is being used in a graded or mandatory assessment, or you do not want answers revealed during the quiz for any other reason.

Answer explanations may reveal information relevant to later questions, so we recommend disabling this setting in graded assessments.
Show progress indicator Shows the quiz taker how many total questions are in the quiz and which question they are currently answering (for example "Question 2 of 4"). You do not want the quiz taker to know the total number of questions, or you have implemented a custom progress indicator using the Human Viewer API.
Show "Submit" button after each question Displays a Submit button that enables quiz takers to submit a response to each quiz question and advance to the next question.

You are using the Human Viewer API to build a custom navigation or submission experience.

Warning: Do not disable this setting unless you have implemented an alternative way for quiz takers to advance. Disabling it without a replacement will prevent users from progressing through the quiz.

Note: If your quiz is set to Quiz Only and you select a single question when you publish, the summary page will be disabled automatically, even if this setting is enabled here.
