In Teams how to I return a quiz for a student to correct?

Since you posted your question in English, I’ll reply in this language as well. If you’re more comfortable using another language, please let me know, I’ll be happy to tailor my response to your preferred language. 

Hello @Johannes Kingma, 

When a quiz is created in Microsoft Forms and assigned through Teams Assignments, each student is limited to one submission. Returning the assignment allows you to provide feedback, but it does not reopen the quiz for the student to edit or correct their original answers.  

What “Return” actually does 

• Shares your feedback and score with the student 
• Marks the assignment as completed 
• Does not allow the student to change their submitted quiz 

Since the original attempt cannot be reopened, the only way to let a student try again is to give them a new attempt. 

Option 1: Create a new assignment for that student 

• Go to Teams > Assignments 
• Click Create > Assignment 
• Attach the same quiz 
• In Assign to, select the student 
• Click Assign 

Option 2: Duplicate the existing assignment 

• Go to Assignments 
• Find your quiz assignment 
• Click the three dots (… ) > Duplicate 

• Open the duplicated assignment 
• Choose the specific student 
• Click Assign 

This gives the student a fresh attempt at the quiz. 

For your reference:  

• Assign quizzes to students through Microsoft Teams | Microsoft Support 
• Create a quiz with Microsoft Forms | Microsoft Support 

Due to the current design of Microsoft Forms and Teams Assignments, this behavior may not fully meet your expectations if you’re looking for a way to reopen and edit a submitted quiz. At present, that capability isn’t available. 

I’d like to clarify that, as an external forum moderator, I do not represent Microsoft Product Team and do not have access to internal advanced tools to change the product behavior directly. I can only provide guidance based on my experience and publicly available Microsoft documentation and processes.

That said, if this functionality would be important for your workflow, you’re welcome to submit feedback directly to Microsoft Product Team. This helps them understand real classroom needs and can influence future improvements: 

• Go to Microsoft Teams · Community        
• Sign in with your Microsoft account.        
• Choose Send Feedback and fill in the form.         
• Describe your suggestion clearly and concisely.        
• Submit and optionally upvote similar ideas from other users.        

Once you’ve submitted it, please feel free to share the feedback link here, that way, other users who come across this thread can upvote it as well. More votes make it easier for Microsoft to see the demand and increases the chances of the feature being considered in the future.  

Microsoft’s product team actively reviews customer submissions, and many improvements have been introduced based on user demand and real‑world usage scenarios. Submitting and upvoting feedback is the most effective way to help prioritize this feature for future updates.      

In the meantime, you can check Microsoft 365 Roadmap for updating features in the future. I will continue to monitor this case and keep an eye on any updates. If there are any changes or new information regarding this feature, I will make sure to share them with you promptly.   

I genuinely appreciate your feedback and share your goal of making Teams better and more user-friendly.

Thank you again for reaching out!
