If you set a quiz in error, you can delete it. You'll need to archive the quiz first.

Please note that Educake cannot restore deleted quizzes for you. If you just want to hide the quiz from My Educake, we recommend archiving it. If you don't want a quiz to affect students' scores, deleting it is your best option.

How to delete a quiz

  1. First archive the quiz by clicking the "Actions" button and then "Archive quiz"

  2. Once the quiz has turned grey and says "(archived)" next to its name, you'll see a "Delete quiz" button in the actions list. Click it.

  3. Read the confirmation message and click "Permanently delete"

  4. Type the word "delete" to confirm your choice

  5. Click "OK"

What's the difference between archiving and deleting?
