Set Visibility of a Quiz
Instructors can set the visibility state for a Quiz in the Quizzes tool, and in Content if the quiz exists as a content topic within a module. When an instructor updates a visibility setting for a quiz in the Quizzes tool, it is automatically updated in the associated content topic, and vise versa.
When an instructor creates a new quiz, the new quiz defaults to the hidden state.
If a quiz is added to a Content module as an Existing Activity, the visibility state of the quiz in Content is pulled from the visibility state within the Quizzes tool.

Visibility When Using Import/Export/Copy Components
When an import file of content topics and quizzes contains a mix of visibility states, all topics are changed to the visible state. When an instructor updates a visibility setting for a topic in Quizzes, it is automatically updated in the associated Content topic.
- The Export process now includes the visibility state for Quizzes. The visibility state for the export comes from the quizzes.
- The Import and Copy Course Component process for Quizzes and content topics follows the following logic:
- If the import package contains a visibility state on the quiz, use that state.
- If the package contains quizzes with no state and no associated content topics, the visibility state is to show the imported content.
- If the import package contains both content and quizzes, use the visibility state on the quiz. If no visibility state exists on the quiz, use the visibility state from the content.
- If multiple content topics with the same visibility state point to a quiz without a visibility state, set the quiz to the same state as the topics.
- If multiple content topics with different visibility states point to an quiz without a visibility state, set the quiz to hidden, and change all the topics to hidden.
