[ARCHIVED] I can't change comments made in response to quizzes

[deborah_okey]

Why do you release "upgrades" that don't work? In the past, we posted ONE comment that was returned with quizzes for all respondents. This year, you decided to "improve" the program by supplying options for different comments. But I can't edit or delete some of the comments I made in the past, which will be distrubted to students who answer correctly. In one case, that means that students will receive incorrect information about how grades are calculated. Even though the correct information is in the syllabus, these comments provide IN WRITING a basis for grade appeals. Thanks so much for causing me these problems. The longer I use CANVAS, the more I hate it.

Hi  @deborah_okey  

I am not sure I understand your question. could you please elaborate?

• First, are you using the legacy Quizzes, or are you using Quizzes.Next?
• What "Comments returned with quizzes for all respondents." Are you talking about?  The only comments in quizzes that copy from term-to-term, are those associated with each question item - the comments for correct and incorrect responses.  These comments can always be edited.
• The comments created in SpeedGrader as feedback for students do not copy over.

Learn how to edit quiz items in the legacy Quizzes (this guide is for multiple choice items, but works virtually the same for all item types) at How do I create a Multiple Choice quiz question? 

For Quizzes.Next this guide will tell you how to edit item feedback:https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-15037-4152783445 

If I am misunderstanding what you are asking about, please let me know.

I find it hard to believe that you didn't understand the question. It was described perfectly: you cannot modify the comments for answers!

 @deborah_okey ,

Were you able to find an answer to your question? I am going to go ahead and mark this question as answered because there hasn't been any more activity in a while so I assume that you have the information that you need. If you still have a question about this or if you have information that you would like to share with the community, by all means, please do come back and leave a comment.  Also, if this question has been answered by one of the previous replies, please feel free to mark that answer as correct.

I cannot believe a problem that was reported few years ago is still not fixed yet! OMG
