Turn off "Save the response"
Hello everyone, is it possible to turn off the feature "Save the response"?
- Jul 04, 2023Thanks for your feedbacks. Forms has added the setting to control the save response option. You should be able to view the change very soon.

I have the same problem. As a teacher I use quizzes as regular official exams / tests for classes... I need URGENTLY to switch that off. Students will save answers and send them around?
Otherwise I would need to write (and correct) new tests on paper! This is insane. Test weeks just started now... Is there a quick fix?

mtodesco, the feature enables students to view their own answers again, but it doesn't allow send the answer to other people. Does that address your concern?- mtodescoJun 20, 2023Copper Contributor
Thanks a lot for getting back to me that quickly. We are currently in big trouble because of this feature / or as we say "bug".
This is exactly what our students did and will do - and No, without the save-feature we did never found snapshots, to be very clear here.As described, we use Forms with success in the educational environment for multiple-choice tests and similar purposes.
We set the test duration in such a way that students have no time to take snapshots, and further the screens are monitored by test supervisors. We also ensure that no screen recording software is installed or running.
However, when the questions and answers are presented in such a way at the end, like on a silver platter - after the test submission - it just naturally tempts our students to pass them on to subsequent classes.
It is very clear. Even if not everything is graded or rated, it still greatly benefits all the following classes. This is of course unacceptable for the examination commission, and we have currently switched back to paper-based exams to address this issue.It would be a great relief if the save button could be selected ONLY as an optional feature in the settings rather than being enabled by default.
Our requirement for tests/quizzes is that questions and answers should not be accessible to anyone until the quiz owner allows it.
At the very least, they should remain hidden until the quiz is graded and manually released for viewing by the quiz owner only.It should be possible to permanently hide the questions and answers since some tests are reused every year. Quiz participants should only be able to see their scores.
For the purpose of discussing test results or examinations under controlled conditions, the quiz owner should have the ability to unlock and make them visible if needed.
Cheers,
