Change radio button to check box in an existing quiz
Hi everybody, is there a way to change the radio button in an existing quiz (default for multiple choice) to a check box (default for multiple response). I've both types of questions in a quiz session.
Thanks for support.

You cannot change the check boxes to radio buttons. You can do it if you use a freeform question and build it yourself. Not a recommended thing to do, when designing courses you should follow web conventions as these are items that help guide a user on how a quiz will function. Radio = single response, checkbox = multiple response. This helps to reduce the intrinsic cognitive load.
I second what Phil said. Using radio buttons on single-response questions and checkboxes on multiple-response questions is a long-standing UI convention.
Ok, but if you need to switch a multiple choice quiz to a single answer quiz, the checkboxes will need to be changed to radio buttons. So, is this possible? I've copied the answer box to a new freeform pick one question slide and rebuilt the slide in that manner. It is all functioning fine. But now I need to convert my checkboxes.
You can't change a checkbox to a radio button, nor a radio button to a checkbox. So changing from a multi-response to a single-response question (or vice versa) requires creating new buttons.
How change colors in Radio button when importing questions from Excel? Articulate gives me no options!
Hi Editha,
Happy to help!
If you click on a radio button and go to the Format tab, you'll see the option to change the color of the buttons in the upper-left corner of the screen:
You may check out this article to learn more about formatting radio buttons in Storyline 360. If you can't see these options, please send us a screenshot of what you're seeing and a copy of your Storyline 360 project file so we can check how the radio buttons can be edited.
