    Improved Survey Response Behavior
    To ensure consistency between the platform and portal, user responses to inactive survey questions are no longer viewable. Previously:
    • On the platform, while taking the survey/assessment, both active and inactive questions were visible.
    • On the portal, only active questions were visible.
    This update aligns platform and portal behavior. Only responses to active survey questions are accessible through the View User Response button on the assessment instance form, even if the user had answered them while the question was active. However, the responses will still be retained in the respective tables (the response data will not be deleted from the instance). On the response form, only active questions will be displayed
    Quick start tests for Assessments and Surveys
