Create and manage Question Banks


Question Banks help you create and organize reusable questions that can be used across your assessments. Instead of creating the same questions repeatedly, you can maintain a centralized repository of questions, group them into topics, and add them whenever needed.


NotesNote: Question Banks are currently only available for standalone assessments.
