Quiz Creation
The how-to videos mention the Question Library when showing how to create each of the different question types. Keep in mind, however, that you can start in either the Library or a Quiz as you create. Any question you create can be imported (copied) to another area, regardless of where you start.
Whenever you import questions between quizzes and/or the Question Library, they are copied. They are only connected in such a way that the system remembers where they were copied from. When you edit any of the connected copies, the system will ask if you want the edit to be made in all connected questions.
