Versioning
Creating a new version of an exam
With the new exam verisoing feature you can create a new version of an exam to correct mistakes, recertify users and more.
Live changes
Some settings can be changed without needing a new version. The pages where these settings can be found are indicated by a lightning bolt symbol. Once you make and save a change on one of these pages, the change will be reflected to any non-started attempts.
New versions
On the Version Management page you will see a 'New version' button. Selecting this button will generate a new draft version of the exam. The existing version and attempts will be unaffected at this stage.
Creating a new version in draft will allow you to edit the majority of settings for the exam. Once you have made the necessary changes you can use the 'Go to publish' button to be taken directly to the Version Management page where the settings overview will be displayed. You can toggle between showing all settings, or just those which are different to the previous version.
Remember that you will always need to set the open / close window on the settings page, even if it is remaining the same
Once you are happy with the new settings, you can publish the new version. Any attempts generated after this point will be generated under the new version. This includes:
New users added to the group
Users who have already had an attempt generated but who get a new one generated manually
Resit attempts - a user's resit will be generated under the version that is live when it is generated - ie: when they fail the original attempt - even if this is different from the original attempt
Existing attempts are not affected by new versions. If you need all users to take the updated version of an exam, select existing attempts and revoke them. Then select all revoked attempts and use the generate new attempt button to issue those users new attempts under the most up to date version
Data
Once you have published a second version you will be able to filter the Attempts Management table to view attempts by their version. You will also be able to apply a version filter to the Attempts page to export only attempt data for certain versions.
