[The student experience](https://www.gonurture.com/signal/faq.md#student-experience)

In an Assessment, yes, until they submit. Students can move back and forth between questions and change any answer. Their work is saved on the device as they go.

Once a student submits, their answers are locked, for them and for you.

If you’ve set feedback to show after each answer, each answer locks once the student checks it, because they’ve seen the correct answer.
