Import Questions

Collective Question Transfer to the Question Bank

Questions can be collectively transferred to the question bank. Both JSON file format and simple text file can be used for this purpose. When using JSON Import File Format, new questions can be created and existing questions can be updated collectively.

The folder of the question and its labels can also collectively be specified – updated, when using the JSON Import format. In this way, you can update your systematic structuring in the question bank at once.

Questions in the question bank can be exported with JSON Export File Format and downloaded to your computer.
