Quizmaker 360 Template: One-Time Use Only?
Apr 12, 2019
I created a new template for Quizmaker 360, with the appropriate fonts, colors, background images, screen size, and master slides and feedback master slides. I then saves it in My Articulate Projects/Quizmaker Templates as Quiz.quiztemplate.
I opened a new instance of Quizmaker, clicked From quiz template in the upper-left, and selected my Quiz.quizmaker template file. I then did a Save As, Save as Type: Quizmaker Quiz (*.quiz), selected a new folder, and gave the file a new name.
When I navigate (using Windows Explorer) back to My Articulate Projects/Quizmaker Templates, Quiz.quiztemplate has been deleted.
Why? I never issued that command. Why did Quizmaker decide to delete a template file, which by definition, should be a re-usable asset (as it is in every other program)?
Furthermore, if I change the file to Read-Only, Quizmaker insists in making it editable before it will open it. Why?

Hi Joseph. This behavior is a bug, and I'm sorry you experienced it. We've reported it, and I'll add this discussion to our report so we can notify you with any changes.
In the meantime, the current workaround is to duplicate the template file before opening a new project using the template.
I'm glad I found this discussion, having just encountered the same bizarre disappearing template issue. Please count my vote to fix this bug!
Sorry you've come across this issue, Karen!
