Confirmations: why some actions ask a math question

In short

Some actions ask for a quick sum first, as a pause to stop a slip rather than a security check.

You type the answer yourself. Pasting is not allowed.

  • Why a sum

    Actions that remove things or change who can do what ask for a quick answer, so a stray click cannot do it.

  • Who and access

    Changing a role, deleting several people at once, and removing someone's access.

  • Course content

    Deleting a chapter or a section. Deleting a whole course always asks.

  • Your setup

    Removing a tracking ID, cancelling a plan, deleting a live session or removing one of its dates.

Good to know

  • Open Settings, Confirmations and use the switch Ask before deleting a chapter or section to turn the question off for chapters and sections. It is on by default.

  • If you do not see Confirmations in Settings, TEACHNIQ has turned the page off for your academy, and chapters and sections always ask.
