Accidentally closed a poll too early? or need to give students more time to respond? CampusKnot allows instructors to reopen closed polls so students can submit or update their answers.

✅ When You Can Re-open a Poll

You can re-open a poll only if:

  • The poll has already been closed.

  • It is not scheduled to close automatically at a future time.

  • The poll type supports extended submissions (all standard poll types do).

🔄 Steps to Re-open a Poll

  1. Navigate to the Participation tab

  1. Inside the poll, click on the three dots located on the top right corner of your screen

3. Select the 're-open' option

4. Make sure you set a re-open 'Duration'

  • Duration can be set to seconds, minutes, hours, or days

5. You can re-open content for a single student or all of them by clicking on the right square next to the name

⚠️ Things to Keep in Mind

  • If a student has already submitted an answer, and there's a re-open opportunity, their original submission will not be deleted unless the student makes a new submission.

  • If a student has not submitted an answer, they'll have the opportunity to make a submission within the re-open duration set during editing.

👀 Still Not Seeing the Option?

If the Re-open Poll option doesn’t appear:

  • Double-check that the poll is actually closed

  • Make sure the poll wasn’t scheduled to close in the future

  • Refresh the page and try again
