# Question bank

> Save, organize, and reuse questions across forms and assessments

The question bank is a personal repository of questions that you can organize, edit, and reuse across multiple forms and assessments.

## Accessing the question bank

Go to **Dashboard** → **Question Bank** from the sidebar.

## How questions are saved

Questions are automatically saved to your bank whenever you convert a document to a form. You can also manually add questions.

## Searching and filtering

The question bank supports:

| Filter            | Description                                                     |
| ----------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Search**        | Search by question text                                         |
| **Tags**          | Filter by custom tags you've assigned                           |
| **Question type** | Filter by Multiple Choice, Checkbox, Short Answer, or Paragraph |
| **Sort**          | Sort by creation date, modification date, or usage count        |

## Managing questions

### Edit a question

Click the edit icon on any question to:

* Change the question text
* Modify the question type
* Update answer options
* Set or change correct answers
* Add or remove images
* Manage tags

### Tag questions

Tags help you organize questions by subject, topic, difficulty, or any category you choose:

* Add tags during editing
* Filter your bank by tags
* Create consistent naming conventions (e.g., "math-algebra", "science-biology", "grade-10")

### Delete questions

Remove questions you no longer need. This action is permanent.

## Creating forms from saved questions

1. Select multiple questions by clicking the checkbox on each card
2. Click **Create Form**
3. Enter a form name
4. Choose whether it's a graded quiz
5. Select your destination platform
6. Click **Convert**

This lets you mix and match questions from different documents and topics into a single assessment.

<Tip>Use tags like "midterm-review" or "chapter-5" to quickly find and select related questions when building new forms.</Tip>

## Question types in the bank

The question bank stores questions as:

* **Multiple Choice**
* **Checkbox** (multiple answers)
* **Short Answer**
* **Paragraph**

Other question types (linear scale, date, time, etc.) are normalized to these four types for storage, but are restored to their original type during export when the target platform supports it.
