Delete Submission

How does our delete submission work? #

In Algobash, candidates are allowed to submit a test only once.

This implies that a single email address can take a specific test only once. However, if you wish to enable candidates to retake the test, you have the option to delete their previous submission using the ‘Delete’ icon under ‘Action,’ or you can use the bulk action ‘Delete’.

Remember! This action is irreversible.
