Importing/Exporting CSV Answer Keys

Updated

A quiz's answer key (including alternate answers, question tags, and point values) can be imported and/or exported as a CSV file. This "Import/Export Keys" button can be found near the top of the "Edit Key" screen within each quiz - clicking the button will open up the import/export page for that quiz with additional instructions and options.

 

To access the “Import/Export Keys” feature:

  1. Log into your ZipGrade account on the zipgrade.com website.
  2. Go to the “Quizzes” page.
  3. Click the blue, linked quiz name that contains the answer key that you want to export. This will open that quiz’s detail page.
  4. In the “Answer Key” section, click the “Edit Answer Keys” button.
  5. Find and click the “Import/Export Keys” button near the top right.

Note: Click “Which Key Export/Import Method to Use?” at the top of the “Import/Export Keys” page to review the different options for sharing/importing quiz and key definitions.
