Moderate Quiz

The Moderate Quiz feature for published Canvas Classic Quizzes allows you to see whether students have taken a quiz, how long students have been taking the quiz, extend the time limit, override the date settings, or provide additional attempts for one student. For full details on all these features, see Once I publish a quiz, how do I use the Moderate Quiz page?

Optional: If the due date or availability date has passed, you can also check the box to Manually unlock the quiz for the next attempt

This setting overrides all due date and locked after date settings, so use it with caution. (Another better way to do this is to add additional date settings for the student.)
