I frequently do not want or need a Submit button for Multiple Choice questions. It doesn’t align well with other questions for which such things are not only not frequently used, but even _deprecated_(I’m looking at you, Tables). To keep a consistent UX for my students I’d really appreciate the ability to entirely remove the Submit button for MC or Checkbox questions. I can do things like disable it, etc. after x number of attempts and whatever but that’s not what I’m looking for here. I want it to never appear in the first place. Doesn’t seem like this is possible, but I’m hoping I’m wrong. Any ideas? ---

I don’t see a Submit button when I add MCs or Checkboxes. Only if I have a submitLabel sink. ---

Sorry for the confusion, I think of these elements by their web standard names rather than the verbiage Desmos uses. I’m talking about this: ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/desmos/original/2X/4/49ddc3642577dc818f4be8f22af5805ec6a5629f.png) That default Submit button is what I’d like to be able to remove entirely. ---

Daniel is right on there. You shouldn’t see that button unless you’ve asked for it somewhere. PressCount, timeSincePress, submitLabel, etc. if you’re seeing it unprompted it may be a bug. Can you share your activity? ---

If you remove the line `showSubmitButton: FALSE`, it will get rid of the submit button. Why that “false” doesn’t get rid of it, I am not sure - perhaps a bug. But if the line is not there at all, the button doesn’t show up. ---

It’s odd that it doesn’t work. I’d just duplicate slide 14 and change the picture, since that one seems to be working all right. (Also, if you want a dashboard checkmark, you’ll need `readOnly: true` in your sketch components.)
