How do I regrade a quiz question in New Quizzes?

You can regrade a question for a quiz in New Quizzes. Regrading allows you to change the correct answer or point value for a question. The point value can also be changed for individual answers for questions with varied point values.

Regrading only applies to completed submissions. If all students will be affected by the regrade, please wait for all submissions before regrading.

Regrading is not available for Essay or File Upload questions. For Categorization questions, you can only change point values; you cannot change correct answers for this question type.
