How do I make a quiz public or private?
Public quizzes have no access code; private quizzes require one.
Public: no code. Private: code needed for attempts. A private quiz can still appear on a public educator profile.
Public/private describes the code requirement. Active status and profile visibility control other parts of availability. A private quiz can be discoverable on a public profile while its attempts remain code-protected.
Before you start: Sign in, switch to Teacher, and open the Teacher Dashboard with an active educator plan or trial.
Change access
- Open Quizzes → View All Quizzes and click Edit.
- Enter an Access Code for private attempts or clear it for public attempts.
- Save and share the link. Give private codes only to intended learners.
On the Individual/self-only plan, private access is enforced automatically and the code field is hidden. Other plans can use these steps. Standard/Live attempts need learner capacity; all modes need active plan access and permitted quiz settings.
Hide or stop a quiz?
A code restricts attempts, not listings. Deactivate the quiz to stop availability. Profile visibility is controlled in Teacher Profile.
Useful information
Choose your audience
Public suits open practice/demos. Private codes suit invited batches. Public saved test submissions can consume capacity, so consider the plan limit before wide sharing.
What a code does not do
It does not hide the listing, increase capacity, remove a block or reopen an expired schedule. Learners still sign in as Learner. They do not pay Quiz Pathshala separately for educator attempts; availability follows the educator plan/settings.
For all content absent from public browsing, review Teacher Profile visibility. For one unavailable quiz, change its active status.
