Hello,

I am using My Workbook for recording my statistics. It's a great tool when it comes to record the time and to visualize the dashboard. However, I am struggling to record my answers and referred to it later.

After completing 10 Questions, when I want to go back and see what I chose as answer vs correct answer, workbook does not show me my original choice.

Is that by design or I am missing something?

Thanks
Kunal

Yes, I have noticed the same thing. Unfortunately, the tracker/workbook doesn't keep records of your answer.

moved topic to the appropriate forum.

Thank you for asking.
Not by original design - originally it actually displayed your chosen answer choice as you are suggesting. However, pretty much immediately, it was requested by users to hide the answer choices because they did not want to be exposed to their previous answers and instead wanted to only record correct/incorrect. This way, they would not know that they picked B which was incorrect but very similar to D and would still have to figure out which is the correct/incorrect answer. Had the workbook shown them that they picked B, it would be very hard not to be biased....

The workbook actually records the answers but it does not show it to the users, displaying only correct/incorrect marker :-)

I had another request for workbook - to display only the questions not attempted/attempted but answered incorrectly - would it be possible to implement such a function? would be good to have the possibility to turn off this function in the workbook settings too.

Hi bb,

My interest was to see what was my incorrect answer so that it can help in retrospection. Would it be nice to have this feature flag so that it can be turned on or off? If the workbook is already storing the answers but not showing it, a simple feature flag to turn on or off showing the wrong answer would help other users who do want to see their original choice.

Thanks
Kunal
