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.

Live changes

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

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.

Change log

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

Issue existing users a new exam version

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.

When a new version of an exam is created, existing attempt will not automatically be updated to the new attempt. To give users an attempt on the latest version you need to do the following:

1. Find / Filter the users or attempts you want to update

2. Revoke the existing attempts

3. Generate new attempts on the same version

1.Find / Filter the users or attempts you want to update

Use the manage columns and filters feature to find attempts on the right version or by the right state you want to update eg non started attempt (enrolled) who are on the previous version.

2.Revoke the existing attempts

Revoke the attempts you want to update so the user will only have one attempt, if you don't revoke the attempt on the old version the user may still be able to start, follow this step if users must only have one attempt.
