Hi All,

I just found today that when you have a problem with the show parts one at =
a time parameter turned on, in the authoring space if you set the Problem S=
tatus to "Show Answer" it will show answers to only the parts you've attemp=
ted plus one. This had me worried because one of my instructors has taken t=
o using this with some additional coding to show only one part at a time (i=
ncluding having any completed parts disappear as well) but going into an ac=
tual course and looking at these quizzes with answers available shows that =
they DO show all parts, even if they have not been attempted by the student=
, which for us at least is the desired behavior. I'm not particularly conce=
rned about this difference between authoring space and course behavior, but=
 wanted to point it out in case the information is useful to others.
