Answer key for single wrong answers only

Hello! I have a question about the answer key. A couple of years ago there were two options for our students to see the correct answers when they'd clicked "Finish". One of them - like it is now if we enable the option - was clicking "Show answers". Yet, there was still another one which had to do with moving the cursor to their wrong answer - then they could see the correct answer for that very question. I preferred my students using the second option as otherwise they may just take photos of all the correct answers (after clicking "Show correct answers") and copy these, thus not learning much. Now, my students are saying that this preferred answer key of mine is not accessible any more. Is it really so or perhaps can I enable it somehow? Any ideas on how to prevent them from seeing all the correct answers on one page at once and being able to take a phote of all the answer key in one go..? Thanks in advance for your answers and any ideas...

The second way is available in custom links only, and it works with gaps only, as far as I remember (I stopped using them as I was using liveworksheets with more and more students and it stopped being practical). If you want them to practice, you can use custom links, but there are so many ways to copy the answers that it is not worth worrying too much about that. Personally, I only allow checking the right answers to sensible students. With younger ones who tend to cheat more I don't let them see the right answers. Anyway, I know that some of them are copying it from classmates (I use it for homework) or cheating in other ways, but that's their problem, not mine. When I want to assess them, I tell them to do the worksheet in the classroom, separating their desks, as if they were doing an exam. I use it to assess a single grammar point, for example, to find out whether they need more practice.

Thanks, Juan. Is there any way of using custom links while having the students complete their workbooks? I mean, could they use the cursor for the answer key while soing the workbooks?

1) No, epro. Custom links are links to individual worksheets, NOT to workbooks. 2) As JuanJose explained, it works for gaps IF you choose the "Show right answers" function, below the workbook or for individual worksheets in a workbook.
