How to add an interactive quiz to your flipbook pages

Build questions, customize settings, and download reader answers as a CSV

Overview

A quiz in a flipbook tests what readers know and collects their answers, without sending them to another page. Use it in educational publications, internal training or interactive catalogs.

💡 Benefits of adding a quiz to your flipbook
  • More engagement: Readers answer questions instead of only reading.
  • Support learning: Provide feedback, show correct answers, and allow quiz retakes.
  • Track results: Access detailed analytics for each response.
  • Compliance: Collect email addresses and show your privacy policy.

Requirements

How to add a quiz to your flipbook

  1. Open your flipbook in Design Studio. You can also make a new flipbook: upload a PDF or start from scratch.
  2. In the left side panel, click Interactions.
  3. Scroll down to the Engagement group and click Quiz. Flipsnack adds the quiz area to the current page.

Quiz settings and customization

In the Quiz panel, click Quiz settings.

Here, you can set up the following:

  • Display questions as: One question per page or Multiple questions per page.
  • Show correct answer: shows the correct answers to the reader. With one question per page, the reader sees the correct answer after each question. With multiple questions per page, the reader sees the answers at the end of the quiz.
  • Allow users to take the quiz multiple times: readers can take the quiz again.
  • Add privacy policy: the company name and the link to its privacy policy.
  • Add GDPR compliancy check: a GDPR checkbox with your own message.
  • Thank you message: select General confirmation message for one message to all readers, or Message based on results for one message when the reader passes and a different message when the reader fails.

Note: If you do not change the privacy policy, the company name or the messages, Flipsnack uses default text. We recommend that you change them to match your own policies.

Click Save changes.

Collect email addresses and make the quiz mandatory

Two more options are at the bottom of the Quiz panel:

  • Collect email address: readers must type their email address to send their answers.
  • Make element mandatory: readers must finish the quiz before they can read the rest of the flipbook. In Instructions, type the message that readers see when they try to go on without the quiz. The default message is "Please complete the highlighted quiz before proceeding."

Make element mandatory turned on, with the Instructions box and the preview note

Note: Preview does not apply mandatory actions. To test a mandatory quiz, open the published flipbook.

Note: For flipbooks shared privately with Readers or SSO viewers, Flipsnack records the readers and their email addresses automatically. You do not need to collect email addresses for these flipbooks.

To see how the quiz looks and works, click Preview in the upper right corner.

Preview button in the Design Studio top bar

To send quiz answers to another app, click Send data in the Send data with Zapier box at the bottom of the Quiz panel.

View quiz statistics

Quiz results show in Analytics after you publish the flipbook and readers take the quiz.

  1. In your workspace, click Analytics.
  2. In the filter, select the flipbook that has the quiz.
  3. Click the Responses tab. The Quiz section shows the results of each reader and each question.

Important: Publish the flipbook before you share it. A flipbook collects data only after you publish it.

Warning: When you delete a quiz from the flipbook, its statistics no longer show in Analytics.

Download quiz answers as a CSV file

After readers take the quiz, you can download all answers as a CSV file. In the Quiz section of the Responses tab, click the download icon.

Each reader's answers are one row in the file. Open it in Excel or Google Sheets to compare results or share them with your team.

Troubleshooting

  • I do not see the Responses tab in Analytics. The Responses tab shows only when you select one flipbook in the filter. With Entire workspace selected, it does not show.
  • The Quiz section says "Not enough data to show quiz insights". No reader has taken the quiz yet, or the flipbook is not published. Publish the flipbook, share it and wait for answers.
  • Readers can skip a mandatory quiz in Preview. This is correct. Preview does not apply mandatory actions. Test the published flipbook.
