Question page
The page has the same layout for all question types:
| Field | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Question | The question text. You can format it and insert images |
| Answers | Answer options and the correct answer. Depends on the question type (see Question Types) |
| Exhibits | Additional materials for the question: diagrams, tables, screenshots (see Exhibits) |
| Explanation | Explanation of the correct answer. The candidate sees it after answering |
| Section | The question's section (topic) |
| Difficulty | Difficulty level |
If a question is incomplete (for example, no correct answer is marked), its name in the tree is highlighted in color.

Changing the question type
Right-click the question → Change Type... → choose the new type. After changing the type, check the answer options and set them up again if needed: different types have a different answer structure.
