QB not retaining questions

Hi,

I hope you can provide a solution to this problem.

I am adding new questions to a new Question Bank (classic) but it only saves a single question!

It retains the last question I have saved to the Question Bank.

It is extremely frustrating to lose time on adding the questions as I have repeatedly added the questions only to see the total question as 1.

Is there something broken?

Thanks

Hi @pamela_branas,

With Classic Quizzes and Classic Question Banks, you need to hit the blue "update question" button at the bottom of the questio after you fill in all of the question details to ensure that new question is saved. If you just keep adding new questions without hitting the update question button first, I think what you're experiencing is exactly what will happen. Instructure improved this (in my opinion) in New Quizzes/Item Banks, but I don't believe any changes will be made to the classic versions at this point.

Hope this info helps!

Hi Chris! I'm experiencing the same issue, even if I have clicked the 'update question' button at the end of each question. Do you have any other ideas as to why the Question Banks are not updating?

Thanks 🙂

Could "Timeline Visualization" be the Key to Improving the Student Calendar?
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point."

Better Submit Button UI to prevent accidental Submits Message
The current placement of the "Submit" button creates a "slip" in user behavior where habit-clicking "Next" leads to an accidental final submission. I think Canvas could easily fix this by: Moving the Submit button away from the navigation buttons (maybe above the question instead of below it) and/or Adding a "Confirm…
