Allow copy-paste in the exam

The basic functionality of typing answers in the Digiexam application for students is that only text produced by the students themselves can be copied and pasted. 

Students can copy, paste and cut their own text answers using the standard keyboard shortcuts on the device.

 


 

Allow copy-pasting of text in the exam

Students can be allowed to use copy-paste of text in the exam. In lockdown mode, only text available within the exam (Public exam description, Questions and allowed web links) can be used.

An exam setting can allow students to copy-paste text from external sources into the text editor.
