Quiz settings in 360
Are there settings in a quiz to change the ability to retake a quiz? I have a course that seems to kick people out after retaking a quiz a number of times. I know I can change so each question can be retried more than once, but not the entire quiz. I have each question set to 1 attempt.
Storyline 2 had a quiz settings button, but I don't know where it is in 360.
Hey there Steve!
Follow this tutorial to limit the number of quiz attempts in Storyline 360. And if you get stuck along the way, let me know! I'd be happy to help. :)

I saw that before. I'm actually looking at having unlimited re-tries. In Storyline 2 there was a place to change settings. Did that go away in 360? Is the default "unlimited"? Does it automatically add that setting when you put the "Retry Quiz" button in?

Hi Steve
the unlimited tries is on a slide by slide basis.
By checking the Retry quiz option on the results slide the user should be able to keep retaking the quiz - unless you have set a variable to stop them after so many tries is that not happening for you?
This behaviour is same in SL2 and SL360

Hello,
I am having this same issue. I do not see in the "Retry Quiz" option on the results slide. I can't find it anywhere in Storyline 360.
Hey John! Check out the Results Tools: Design tab. Then click the Retry Button option, and click-and-drag to add it to the slide. I hope that helps!

Ok, thanks.
I have a restricted menu that allows users to return to parts of the lesson they have already visited, including a mid-lesson quiz. I don't have that button. When a user uses the menu to return to the quiz, what happens? Is there not a setting in there somewhere that allows/disallows taking the quiz?
Hi John,
You'll only see the Results Tools: Design tab when you have the Results Slide open. Does your course have a Results Slide?
To give learners the option to go back and change quiz answers before submitting, follow this tutorial for Submitting Answers All at Once.

Yes, there is a results slide in my project.
In Storyline 2 there is an Options tab on the Results Slide Properties dialog that has a check box for "Allow user to review quiz" and "Allow user to retry quiz." This tab is not available in Storyline 360.
I understand that the retry button takes the user back to the beginning of the quiz and resets the score. But I am interested in the permission (if you will) that allows or disallows the user to retake the quiz.
In Storyline 2 if the retry quiz button was not checked, the user could return to the quiz, by using the back buttons or menu, and the quiz would be "locked" with the users answers displaying.
Here is my question: How do you do this in Articulate 360?

Hi John
do you mean 'review' quiz which shows the correct/incorrect banner on the bottom and a tick next to the correct answer?
In 360 the Review button is available when you are on the Results slide
Results Tools: Design tab - see Alyssa's screen image above.

I understand that adding the button executes the "Review Quiz" action.
This is a screenshot from Storyline 2. I am looking for these permissions, not a trigger that moves the user around in the lesson. If I am misunderstanding the function of these two check boxes, please feel free to explain them to me.
Thanks,
Hi there John!
I made a 3-minute video which explains the difference in how the Retry Quiz and Review Quiz permissions are displayed in Storyline 2 and Storyline 360. Check it out here!
In essence, there are no "permissions" in Storyline 360. Including the button on a slide gives learners permission to review or retry a quiz, and removing the button removes permission to review or retry a quiz.
Let me know if that answers your question. 🙂

This is very helpful. I have actually been creating my own Retry and Review buttons in Storyline 2 using triggers. I see what they do (reset results, jump to slide, review, etc.) but I interpreted that check box as being the ultimate permission.
I guess I was hung up on the word "allow."
Upgrades of my favorite software can be traumatic (breathe in bag). Thank you so much for your help.
