Has anyone figured out a workaround concerning the Matching Question type that involves drop down menus? Basically, I'm looking for a way to make the question answers not shuffle.
Hi Jeff. Matching Drop Down questions cannot be made to not shuffle, unfortunately, and I can't really think of a way to workaround that. Maybe someone else will chime in with a suggestion.
If they didn't shuffle the answer would be right there for the users and they wouldn't have to select or change anything, so I'm unsure on the set up you're looking to achieve. Perhaps including a sample or mock image of how you'd like it to work will help the community figure out a solution that'll work for you!
Trying to use the matching option in the quiz, but Articulate is not shuffling the answers. I do not see any way to put the answers in any other order than the correct response. Please see attachment.
Ok, it works before I put the background on the slide. As soon as I add the background the answers no longer shuffle. The slides must have the background to be consistent, so what are my options?

Hi Cheryl,
They'll only be shuffled in preview/publish automatically. When you view the slide in the stage or form view, you'll see them in the correct order.
Hi Ashley,
Thanks for your response, but I have viewed them in preview and they are not shuffling. The answers continue to show up against the item in column A.
Please advise and thanks,

Hi Cheryl,
Can you share a copy of this course so that we could take a look at it? I haven't seen that type of behavior before.
I can't send you the entire course, but I can do 2 slides - one without the background and one after it has been added. Will that work?
Hi Cheryl -
Absolutely - and if you'd like you can share here in the forum discussions or send along to me here privately.
