Canvas – Correct a quiz already taken by students and regrade for Classic Quizzes

If a teacher needs to make an edit to a quiz that had submissions, they can make the edits for Multiple Choice, True/False, and Multiple Answer and then choose to “Update Question” to trigger the regrade options. Canvas prompts you to make a selection about how to regrade, pick from the correct option in the menu which appears when you make the change.
