This article is for Faculty who would like to view and understand how their students will experience their New Quizzes in Canvas. Initiating Preview from a New Quizzes' Build page enables faculty to take their New Quiz as a Test Student in Preview mode, which will not affect the live quiz in the gradebook.
- Canvas recommends faculty use Preview in New Quizzes rather than using the Student View button because Test Student attempts in New Quizzes cannot be reset and will affect analysis reports.
