QSM enables you to define essential configurations for all quizzes and surveys. Through the Global Settings menu, you can establish default options, core settings, and themes that apply universally across every quiz or survey you create.

The Global Settings are, by default, applied to all the quizzes and surveys you have created or will create further. However, if you want to apply these settings to certain quizzes, then click on the “Apply to multiple quizzes” link at the bottom beside the Save button and select the quizzes in which you want to apply the default settings

Quiz Default Options

You can now set global default options for a Quiz/Survey that will be reflected in the Options Tab (inside the particular quiz).

So, when you create a new quiz/survey, the options will be pre-selected as per the set global defaults. You can change these default options from the “Quiz Default Options” tab in QSM Settings.

To find the Quiz Default Options, navigate to QSM > Settings > Global Settings > Quiz Default Options. Here, you can configure the options and save them as Default Options.

After setting the default options, hit the “Save Changes” button. You can also set quiz options as the default by hitting the “Set Global Defaults” button in the Options Tab. Almost all global settings options are similar to the individual quiz options found inside the quiz.

Theme Defaults

The Theme Settings section allows you to customize all purchased and installed QSM themes. These customizations apply universally to every quiz using the selected theme.

Note – The Theme Defaults setting is available only if a QSM theme is activated within the plugin.

All the installed themes appear in this section. To customize a theme, click the Customize button next to it.

For example, if the QSM Breeze theme is activated, hover over it to see the Customize button. Clicking it opens theme settings, similar to themes settings in the individual quiz styling, where you can adjust general options, button colors, answer choices, progress bar, and advanced settings.

After making changes, save the updated theme settings. These modifications will automatically apply as defaults to all quizzes or surveys created with the Breeze theme via Global Settings.

Similarly, you can set default styling settings for all the other QSM Themes that you activate. You can also customize the theme individually for each quiz in the Style tab.
