Quizzes can now be imported directly into your Thinkific course using an xlsx file!
Get Started
- Download the quiz template.
- Review the instructions on the second tab of the template.
- Fill out the template with your quiz. It's important that you don't rename or move around any fields. The file must have the template in a sheet named "QUESTIONS" in order for our system to recognize it.
- Make sure that your uploaded file is in .xlsx format. In your spreadsheet program, you may need to export the file as 'Excel' format in order to make the upload work.
