The question bank authoring process is iterative. In general, you will edit a question bank over many sessions.
After a question bank is installed, you can use its questions in assignments. You can install later versions to update and expand the original question bank.
To retain a copy of the previous version of a question bank on your harddrive:
If open, download the revised version of the question bank to your harddrive.
From the Question Bank Editor main menu, select the previous version of the question bank. Click Ok.
Download the previous version of the question bank to your harddrive.
From the Question Bank Composition menu, select Start New from the menu. Confirm opening a new question bank.
Upload the revised question bank.
Finish editing the revised question bank. Remember that the questions in the revised version will replace questions from the previous version in any existing assignments
Save/Install the revised question bank, replacing the previous version.
Note: The system keeps a copy of every question bank version that you have installed. The system uses the most recent version when a student accesses an assignment, and records the version number. When you examine the details of an assignment, the system displays the questions that the student saw.
