I am giving a quiz in desmos. I don’t want my students to be able to view their previous work after finishing the quiz, but I do want to keep it open in case others go back and do it. I was thinking 1. have a cover text after they submit the quiz 2. lock screens fo specific students after they submit the quiz. Does anyone know how to do this/ is there a better way to make this happen? ---

You could have the coverTexts conditional upon submitting each slide individually instead of all at the end, then everyone has to move forward from where they are. ---

What I have been doing is having a button on the final screen that acts as a Lock for everything in the activity. I tell students to click that when they want to finalize their answers. After clicking that, I automate mark summation, give them a report, etc. but to your use-case, it hides all the inputs they submitted. Does that sound like what you’re looking for? ---

Yes! do you have an example of what I need to do that? ---

That is what I do as well. When they submit it locks their answers. Depending on the test, this one will also post their scores and a table breaking down the incorrect slides > **[Topic 2 Test (part b) - REMEDIATION • Activity Builder by Desmos](https://teacher.desmos.com/activitybuilder/custom/5f9b86c4e7b3492e595b6fb0)** > > by Micah Baldree This one does not, but it does pull up a table with the incorrect slides, and a break down of class averages when I type “baldreeresults” > **[Topic 2 Test (part b) • Activity Builder by Desmos](https://teacher.desmos.com/activitybuilder/custom/5f9950a0c48e740ccc3bdc15)** > > by Micah Baldree
