HELP ON Canvas quiz

[jemmett]

I have been working on an exam all day (6 hours).  I hit save.  It has completely disappeared.  Do I cry now, or can it be retrieved?

Hi,  @jemmett . Oh no! If it was accidentally deleted, you may be able to retrieve it using the trick mentioned in Undeleting things in Canvas. If it was not able to save properly, I fear at least some of your work may have been lost. While it may not help retrieve your quiz, one thing I can recommend for the future is to save your work often! You do not have to publish a quiz to students until you are ready, but you can save at any time to help prevent lost work.

I know this is super late, but I came across this because I had the same question. I hit "save" after working on an exam and the page just say there "thinking" for well over an hour. I thought I'd have to start over... But instead I found that although the quiz itself didn't save, all of my questions were at least saved in my quiz bank. So I figured I'd share in case anyone else found themself in a similar situation... Check your quiz bank before crying 😅!
