Use a Queue to Publish Multiple Polls at Once

Need to publish multiple polls without clicking through one by one? The Queue helps you save time by organizing and publishing all your class content in a single step.

🔍 What Is the Queue?

The Queue is a centralized space where you can prepare and store multiple polls before going live. Think of it as your staging area. You can line up questions in advance, then publish them all at once when you’re ready.

💡 Each poll in the queue remains its own activity, with individual settings, deadlines, and grading options.

✅ Why Use the Queue?

Organize all your polls for a class session in one place
Deploy multiple activities in one click, great for warm-ups, reflections, or quizzes
Avoid repetitive setup during class time

✨ Steps to Set Up a Queue

Create a poll
Select the triple dots located in the top right corner of your poll
Choose “Add to Queue” instead of publishing immediately
Once added, your polls will be housed inside the queue
Repeat the process for each poll you want to add to the queue
When ready, go to your Queue
You have the option to “Publish all” or “Publish” one poll at a time.
If you click “Publish all,” choose how poll durations should work:
- Use individual poll settings
  Polls will run based on the specific duration you set when creating them.
- Apply the same time limit to all polls
  Override the individual settings and apply a single duration to all polls.

⏱️ Best Practices

When publishing all polls, you can control durations two ways:
Use each poll’s individual duration, or override them and apply one time limit to every poll in the queue.
Each poll’s duration is unique
The timer is based on the settings you chose when creating the poll.
Use it for:
- Back-to-back in-class questions
- Homework quizzes
- Exit tickets + feedback prompts
- Pre-scheduled weekly check-ins

⚠️ Heads Up

Queued polls don’t share a timer. Each one is tracked and graded individually.
Once published, each poll follows the duration and point settings you defined during setup.

🛠️ Coming Soon: Self-Paced Mode

We’re working on a self-paced publishing option that will let students complete queued activities one at a time, at their own pace. Look for this update later this fall semester!
