    Notes

    • If you're collaborating on a quiz with specific teachers in your school, only you, as the quiz owner, can create a summary link for your quiz if one doesn’t yet exist. Co-authors can still copy and share your summary link, but can't create one, themselves. In other collaboration modes not set for specific people in your organization, co-authors can create new summary links.

    • Also note that if you share your quiz responses with anyone in your school, and then decide to share with only specific people in your school, any summary sharing link that already exists can still be accessed by anyone inside or outside of your school. You can delete an existing summary link to disable it, which will reduce access to the response data. You can do this by going to the Responses tab > More options More options button > Get a summary link > Remove link (trash can icon). Optional: You can then create a new summary link if you want to share it with a new audience, but this new summary link will still be accessible by anyone who gets a hold of it.


    Note: The ability for you to collaborate on a quiz with specific people in your school is currently being developed and should be available soon.
