I want to add questions to an existing game that I made previously, but when I go to the game, I can only play it, not edit it. I can't get to the page that you show above - that was the page I saw when I first created the game. The only option I can see is to copy and edit, but I don't want another copy of this game. I want to edit the one I made.
The new creator is not for me, how do I opt out?
I want to save an edited quiz but it won't save
I have hovered my mouse over a question for days. Never once have seen an options button with three dots. I want to delete a question. Is it really this challenging just to have something work?
I've been trying to find a way to delete a slide from a duplicate Kahoot and I can't find the way to do it. Shouldn't be easier than the previous version? I see this new version less friendly than the previos. This is coming from a frustrated teacher!
I'm in the same boat as queenfranki. How do I add more questions to a preexisting set after I have saved it?
Hi all!
To add more questions, use the "Add question" button in the Question sidebar. There is a limit of 100 questions per kahoot. So if you're at or above 100 questions, you may not be able to add more questions until you delete some.
To delete a question, hover over the question in the Question sidebar, click the " ⋮ " that appears in place of the question number, and choose "Delete".
Cheers!
Yes, the option for delete shows up, then it only lets me delete the ENTIRE kahoot, not just the single slide! Quite a different thing.
Same!! what's going on. It shouldn't be this hard!
When I hit the edit button, I can only add questions, but I would like to add a pic here and there and translate some of the questions in English. How do I do that?
The edit feature does not work. As mentioned above, the slide delete function removes the entire quiz. Try a platform that works, like Quizlet or Quizziz.
I had the same concern about the "delete" question deleting the entire quiz, based on the fact that when you click "delete" it pops up with a box that says "Are you sure you want to delete this quiz? This action cannot be undone!" However, I decided to test this, and the delete button does in fact ONLY delete the question you have selected. Kahoot, please change the pop-up box text to reflect what is actually happening!
It is broken - no three dots icon appears in my browser, which is pretty regular Firefox. Ghostery and uBlock turned off during the test. JS on.
How do you edit a shared kahoot
Why question bank is not available to free kahoot users?
I made an accidental question, bt now I cant delete it
When editing quiz the question frame on the left is beyond the screen edge. Then trash icon is not visible and question cannot be deleted.
I'm having the same issues. The left is beyond the screen edge so I can't delete a question.

Can't figure out how to change from 'draft' to useable mode? Which means I can't share with my students by challenging them - very frustrating.
I edited a quiz, then clicked play to generate a new link but when people use that link they see the penultimate version, even though the changes are saved on the quiz when I go back to check it.
I have made my own kahoot quiz, but I only see 8 questions even though I have over 40 in the editable area. How do I make all questions show up?
Only in English? No other languages? Please....
Still quite confused about how to make a Poll in this new creator?
In quiz questions, only one answer is showing a circle with the tick. It is not the correct answer. I can't seem to locate the tutorial that explains how to select the correct answer. I wonder if these circles shouldn't just be there in all of the answers and there's some bug preventing them from doing so. Please help.
I didnt save changes to the settings of one of my kahoots and now it say 'draft changes' on that Kahoot but wont let me edit it anymore on Kahoot Creator
