Create a new quiz

  1. Click Create in Confluence header and select the Quiz blueprint.
  2. Type Quiz name

  3. Click Create. You’ll see an empty quiz page. The next step is to create questions or add existing questions from other quizzes.

    Quiz and question pages are created with viewing restrictions. By default, they can be viewed only by their creators. Later on the author can modify viewing restrictions and add grant viewing permissions to some other users or user groups, e.g. to collaborate on a quiz or have it reviewed by someone else.


Below is a sample administration page of a launched quiz:


Create questions

Each question is created as a separate Confluence page. Questions are created one at a time.

To create a new question:

  1. On the quiz page, click the Create question button.

  2. Type a question, select question type, add answer options and select the correct answer. 

    You can also add Question Body if a question exceeds 255 characters or you want to add formatted text, an image, a video. 

    Another option to add an image, video or format your text in a question, answer options or feedback is to click Continue in the editor on the left bottom of the dialog. Learn more

    It is possible to add custom feedback. It will be shown after a participant submits an answer. To do that, fill in Feedback if answered correctly and Feedback if answered wrong fields. 

  3. Click Create. If you would like to create several questions in a row, mark the Create another checkbox.

Enroll participants

To enroll participants to a quiz, click the Enroll participants button on the quiz page.

In the pop-up dialogue:

  • Change quiz settings, if needed (changes you make will apply only to the current sharing session and will not be saved in quiz settings).
  • When all set, click the Enroll button.

Participants will get an email with a link to the quiz. Confluence users will also receive a workbox notification. Each quiz link is unique, different people get different links. 

You cannot enroll the same participant twice. When you try to enroll those who are already enrolled, you are prompted to add attempts instead.

For email notification with quiz links to work, you need to configure your Confluence Server for Outgoing Mail to email links.

If you want to let anonymous participants take a quiz, you need to enable anonymous access to your Confluence site. Learn more
