Add existing questions to an assessment

Learn how to share existing questions in your course between assessments.

You can easily add questions that you've already created in other assessments. However, it's important to note that when you add an existing question to a new assessment, it becomes shared across all assessments using it. Any updates you make to the item will automatically be reflected in every assessment where the question is used.

Considerations:

  • This feature is highly convenient if you want a question to remain consistent across multiple assessments.
  • If you need the question to be unique to each assessment, duplicate it before making any changes to ensure it doesn't affect other assignments.

Steps to Add Existing Questions:

  1. In the Question List, click on the Find Questions button. This option allows you to search for questions already created in your course.
  2. Use the search bar to filter and locate the questions you want to add. You can select multiple questions by checking the boxes next to each question.
  3. Once you've selected your questions, click Add Questions beneath the search bar.
  4. The selected questions will now appear at the bottom of your question list. 

Always click Save before navigating away from the assessment to ensure your changes are preserved.
