Your instructor can configure questions to allow a single attempt or multiple attempts. Read the question instructions before selecting Check Answer, especially if you may need to change your response.
Single-attempt questions
For an editable single-attempt question, selecting Check Answer opens a confirmation dialog. It explains that you must commit your answer to check it and that committed answers cannot be changed.
- Select Commit if your response is final and you want to see the available feedback.
- Select Cancel to return to the question without committing, so you can review or edit your response.
Committing locks this answer. You cannot change the response after confirming. Committing a single question does not, by itself, submit the whole lesson; follow your instructor's lesson completion instructions.
Multiple-attempt questions
For a question that allows multiple attempts, Check Answer does not require the single-attempt commitment confirmation. You can review the available feedback, revise your response and check it again while the question remains editable.
A checkpoint, committing the lesson or another lesson lock can still prevent further editing. Multiple attempts do not override those restrictions.
Compare the attempt settings
| Attempt setting | What happens when you check an editable answer |
|---|---|
| Single attempt | A confirmation asks you to commit. Committing locks the answer; cancelling lets you continue editing. |
| Multiple attempts | Feedback can be checked without the single-attempt confirmation. You can revise and check again while editing is allowed. |
If you are unsure
Cancel a commitment confirmation and ask your instructor before proceeding if you are unsure whether your response is ready. If you have already committed an answer and need to correct it, contact your instructor for guidance.
