Edit a question and update all attempts
Suppose a question needs to be updated after attempts have been submitted (eg selecting the correct answer option).
To do so you will need to (a) update the question, and then (b) update all existing attempts.

Read the Confirm Edit Quiz Questions warning message.
This message warns, that there are existing student attempts and that making modifications will not modify the existing attempts. To modify how any questions are scored you will need to also go and Update All Attempts.
4. Select Continue.
5. Make your required question changes, then select Save to update the question.
(b) Update Existing Attempts
As previously submitted attempts will not be automatically re-graded, we now need to update all attempts.
1. From the navigation bar select Assessment then Quizzes.
2. From the quiz name, select Grade from the dropdown menu.
3. Select the Questions tab, then select the Update all Attempts option
4. Now scroll down to the heading Questions that are not in the quiz anymore, and click on the name of the updated question.
5. In the Update All Attempts window, scroll down to Grading Type, and select either:
- Give to all attempts ( _ ) points, or
- Give attempts with answer ( ___ ) ( _ ) points
For example, if a question-answer is changed from True to False, then the following updates are required
- Select [1] Give to attempts with the answer, select False, then enter 1 point, then
- Select Give to attempts with the answer, select True, then enter 0 points
6. You may also add a comment in the text field if you would like to communicate a reason for the update.
When complete, select Save.
7. Then Yes to confirm changes.
The modification will now appear in the Modifications Log.
