# Importing Additional Quiz Attempts

Bring in attempts submitted since the last import, and reset a quiz’s submissions when the wrong ones came across.

Attempts submitted after your first import, including retakes, come in with **Import Additional Submissions**. Anything already imported, and any grading you’ve done, is left untouched.

## Importing additional attempts

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Confirm

If there are indeed new submissions, TimelyGrader will show you how many there are before you confirm and they begin to process.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Wait while they’re prepared

Once it is processed, you are ready to grade them again.

{% hint style="info" %}
A retake is a new submission, so it comes in as a new attempt to grade.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Resetting submissions

Use **Reset Submissions** when the wrong submissions came across, before importing again.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Click Reset Submissions

In the right sidebar, click **Reset Submissions**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Confirm

The dialog asks **Reset every submission?** Grades, feedback and inline comments for this quiz are cleared. The submitted attempts stay. Click **Reset submissions**.

{% hint style="danger" %}
A reset can’t be undone, and it clears the grading for every attempt in the quiz.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## FAQ

<details>

<summary>Will importing again overwrite grades I’ve already given?</summary>

No. Only submissions made since the last import are added; existing attempts and their grades are untouched.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What if the import can’t reach Canvas?</summary>

Nothing is created, and you can try again.

</details>

<details>

<summary>I already pushed grades. What happens to the new attempts?</summary>

Grade them, then push again from **Manage Submissions**, choosing to push only grades for attempts that have no grade in Canvas yet. See [Releasing Quiz Grades and Feedback](/canvas-support-articles/quizzes/quiz-release.md).
