Is there a way to hide the “Show Answer” button on an MCQ? I’ve set up the ability to reset questions using action button, but if the user can see the answer they will simply reset and then get the questions correct.

Hi there!  
You can disable the “show answer” button in the Course Assessment extension:

Thats great thanks!

Out of curiosity, is there a way to do it for questions not involved in the assessment? As an example, if a question was used to unlock content - you wouldnt want the answer shown as the question shows they’ve read the content.
