Why Save Your Question Banks to Files?

You may work on a question bank over several sessions. It is recommended that you, save your question bank at the end of every session.

While working on a question bank, it is recommended that you regularly save it to a file on your computer. This reduces the amount of work you lose in the event of an unexpected shutdown of the server. Save the question bank after completing each topic, or more frequently if you are working on a topic with a large number of questions.

Important: Always save your question bank before you leave your computer and at the end of your editing sessions.
