Creating a quiz with questions from the Question Library

It is a best practice to create questions in the Question Library and then import them to a quiz. Creating a quiz from the Question Library will ensure that the questions exist in both the library and the quiz. If the quiz is later deleted, you will still have a copy of the questions in the Question Library.

  • Who is this for: Online Instructors
