Overwritten quiz content, can I see editing history?

[PauliinaPunnone]

Hi!

I have a situation in which a teacher has accessed a quiz and written their own content there thinking that it was their quiz, however it turns out that the quiz was not theirs but another teacher's... Is there a way to bring back earlier content, eg. view the editing history? Like with pages?

@PauliinaPunnone ...

You might be able to check your school's "test" or "beta" environment...but timing will be key here...because those environments both have a set schedule of when they are updated.  But, if it is soon enough, you might be able to see what the past quiz looked like.  Just make sure you log out of either of these environments before returning to your school's normal "production" environment...which is the environment you typically log into on a daily basis.  (Note, the instructions for the instructor/admin Guides are essentially the same...though the URLs will be different as noted in the Guides.)

• What is the Canvas test environment?
• What is the Canvas beta environment?
• How do I access the Canvas test environment as an instructor?
• How do I access the Canvas test environment as an admin?
• How do I access the Canvas beta environment as an instructor?
• How do I access the Canvas beta environment as an admin?
• What is the Canvas release schedule for beta, production, and test environments?
• How do I log out of Canvas as an instructor?

Hope this might help a bit.

Hi!

Thank you for the reply, unfortunately the quiz was already updated in the test environment, but this will help a lot in the future! 

Perhaps we will get some kind of version history to quizzes someday.
