This guide has details on:
1) editing Private Question Banks
2) editing non-Private Question Banks
3) copying and editing Community and Premium Question Banks.

1. Editing Private Question Banks

If you have uploaded your own Question Bank as a 'Private' Question Bank, you can edit this from within Carousel via ACTIONS column of the My Question Banks Dashboard.

Click on the three dots and select EDIT QUESTIONS.

This will open up your Question Bank in Carousel. 

• Double click on any question, answer or topic to edit it.
• Browse for images or drag and drop them directly into the question bank where it is possible to see them in preview.
• Reorder questions by grabbing the dots on the left and dropping them into position.
• Click +NEW QUESTION to add one or more new lines. Text can be typed or pasted into the table.

• Once complete, just click SUBMIT CHANGES.

Top Tips

• • Move around the table using your cursor arrows.
  • Select and move a block of questions at once by holding shift while selecting them.
  • Select a move a selection of questions at once by holding control while selecting them.
  • Right click in any cell to add a new question above or below.

2. Editing Community, School or MAT Question Banks

NOTE: You must be the author of a Community, School, or MAT Question Bank in order to edit it.

If you are the author of a Community, School, or MAT Question Bank, you can edit this Question Bank in the same way as you edit a 'Private' Question Bank (see above.)

Click on the three dots in the ACTIONS column and select EDIT QUESTIONS.

Please note:

• Non-private Question Banks work on a 'version' basis, meaning that when edits are made and submitted, a new 'version' of that Question Bank is created.
• Other teachers who have that Community/School/MAT Question Bank on their dashboard will see an UPDATE icon next to the Question Bank once changes have been made by the author.

• Changes can be reviewed via the ACTIONS column, the updates can then be made or rejected.
• Editing the name of a Question Bank after it has been published will only edit the name in the Community and will not rename the Question Bank for anyone who has already downloaded it into their Dashboard.

3. Copying and Editing Premium and Community Question Banks

You can make a copy of Community and Premium Question Banks that you like but wish to tailor. 

In the Community, click ADD on any Community or Premium Question Bank and select MAKE AN EDITABLE COPY.

Note: Only Platinum users can make editable copies of Premium Question Banks.

A copy of the Question Bank will appear as a PRIVATE Question Bank on your My Question Banks dashboard. 

An editable copy of a Community or Premium Question Bank can also be created from your dashboard.

• A private copy can be edited in the same way as a Private Question Bank (see above).
• When edits have been made, select EDIT DETAILS from the ACTIONS column.
• Change the name of the Question Bank to make it identifiable and choose to publish it as a SCHOOL or MAT Question Bank if required.
• NOTE: You cannot share your new copy to back to the Community.
