Info

Please keep in mind:

  • When you import questions into surveys or self-assessments, the answers from the Question Library, point value, and difficulty indicators are automatically removed. They are not removed from the original question in the Question Library.

  • You cannot import Likert questions to quizzes and self-assessments because they are unique to surveys.
