[ARCHIVED] Word limits to essay answers?

[mbusbee]

Is there a way to limit answer lengths in Quizzes?

Hi,  @mbusbee ‌,

Thank you for submitting your question! Canvas New Quizzes has the ability to limit word count. Check out the Set Question Options step in this guide: How do I create an Essay question in New Quizzes?

Hope this helps!

Best,

Danielle

 @mbusbee  Welcome to the Canvas Community! Danielle provided the correct link to our documentation; however, we are currently experiencing an issue with guide links that we are hopeful will soon be resolved.

I make the test in quizzes, which does’t look anything like “new quizzes” as far as I can tell. How do I limit word count in quizzes?

Hey Mark. That functionality is only available in New Quizzes and I hope it will encourage you to give the new tool a try.
