Add quizzes

Check your learners knowledge with a multiple choice question

Before you begin

A quiz is a multiple-choice question learners must answer during a track before proceeding to the next challenge. Each quiz needs at least two possible answers. You can assign one or more answers as correct. Each challenge supports only one quiz. To add additional quizzes, create a separate challenge for each one.

Note: The solution field uses zero-based indexing, meaning 0 refers to the first choice.
