You can Search for a specific quiz by its Name or Question Text. To search by Question Text, enter the text of the question or its keywords into the search bar; the system will display a list of all quizzes containing that question. This is useful if you need to delete or edit a specific question across all quizzes where it is located.

Filtering (7) is available for the remaining columns. You can apply filters to multiple columns simultaneously. When any filter is applied, a "Clear Filters" button will appear. If multiple filters are active, a cancel button will appear next to each parameter to remove individual filters. To reset all filters at once, click the "Clear Filters" button.

Using the "Hidden columns (10)" button, you can configure the display of columns with the required information. If the toggle is enabled (blue), the corresponding column is displayed in the table; if disabled — the column is hidden. The number of hidden columns is indicated directly on the button.
