Feedback template creator

From MoodleDocs


The role of Feedback template creator may be used to allow editing teachers to save Feedback templates as "public" for use in other courses throughout the Moodle site.

When saving Feedback questions, an administrator sees a box "Public", which, when ticked/checked, will make the template available for other users. Teachers in courses do not see this box; the instructions below explain how to enable it for them.

Saving feedback questions as "public"
