Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
The add-on requires very basic permissions to function. It needs permission to connect to your Google Forms™ app so it can automatically generate the quiz, and it needs access to your Google Drive™ so it can safely save the newly created Form directly into your account.
Absolutely not. The add-on uses a strict "Current Document Only" permission. It can strictly only read the text of the single, specific document you have actively opened the add-on inside of. It cannot access, see, or read any other files in your Google Drive™. Your data is entirely safe and private.
This is a common Google security measure that happens for two reasons.
🔹 Fix 1: Simply refresh your Google Doc web page and check the Extensions menu again.
🔹 Fix 2: If refreshing doesn't work, Google's system is likely confused because you are logged into multiple Google accounts in the same web browser. To fix this, open a new "Incognito" or "Private Browsing" window, log in using only the single Google account you want to use, and open your document.
The add-on is highly versatile and supports a wide variety of assessment formats:
Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs): Standard single-choice questions (Radio buttons).
Multiple Correct Answers: If you provide multiple correct options, it automatically converts the question into Checkboxes.
Short Answer Questions: Questions without options will automatically be formatted as text-input fields.
Rich Media: It seamlessly extracts Inline Images and securely processes complex Mathematical Equations into high-quality images.
A: Yes! This is one of our most powerful features. You can type equations directly into your Google Doc using standard LaTeX formatting enclosed in dollar signs (e.g., $E = mc^2$ or $\frac{1}{2}$). The add-on will automatically and securely render these into crisp, beautiful images in your Google Form.
Absolutely. Just paste your image directly into your Google Doc inside the question text or as an option. The add-on will safely extract the image, temporarily process it, and attach it to the correct question or choice in your final Form.
Yes! As long as you include the "Answer: [Letter]" key in your document, the add-on automatically sets the correct answer and assigns point values in the Google Forms™ settings. Your quiz is ready to grade itself immediately.
Pro Tip: By default, the generated quiz form is set to release marks as 'Later, after manual review'. For auto-release marks, update the form settings.
You can set a default point value for the whole quiz when you run the add-on.
If you want a specific question to have a different weight, just add (2 points) or [5 marks] at the end of the question text.
You can also add Explanation: [your text] after your options, and it will automatically be added as feedback for students!
