What are the submission view dates?

Question

When I look at my quizzes under "Manage Dates," there is a column labeled "Other dates." And in that column many of my quizzes have that box filled in with "Submission Views" then what the view is and a date. For example "Submission Views show answers: 8/31/2022." These dates were not modified in the Bulk offset that I did. What exactly do these dates do, and why doesn't the bulk offset apply to them to? In the quiz section itself, I don't see anywhere that these dates show up. Currently, these dates are all set for 2021 or 2022 rather than the current year (2023). Does this matter at all? Also, if I click on them, there is a "Name" box in which appears "show answers" and a date box. So I can modify the date for each individual quiz. But the name box does not have a drop down menu. So if I change it to something else, I'm not sure if it affects anything at all.

Thanks! I think I understand. The dates in that column are for additional views. I assume that if you designate a date and time the same as or prior to the start date of the quiz, then this view would supersede the default view.

Hi there, thanks for reaching out to Community!

Submission Views refer to what a student sees when they complete/return to their quiz submission. By default, all the student sees 'Your quiz has been submitted successfully.' You can change this, in the Evaluation & Feedback tab of editing a Quiz, and further add Submission Views so that on a submission view date, the student return to the quiz and now see their responses/the correct answers. Inside the Quiz, you can find these settings in Evaluation & Feedback > Customize Quiz Results Displays and then create an additional 'view' - it sounds like this may be worth reviewing inside your individual quizzes. These dates can be changed in the Manage Dates area - though as you noted the 'name' of the view is simply Additional View + Original Date (which doesn't change after you change the date). As for why this is not part of Offset Dates, that I am not sure.

I hope this helps!
