Text, Images and Exhibits

Text formatting

You can format the text of questions, answer options, explanations, the test description and case study pages. The formatting buttons are on the main window's toolbar and apply to the field where the cursor is.

Exhibits

Exhibits are additional materials for a question: network diagrams, tables, command output, documentation excerpts. In the test, the candidate opens them separately from the question text, so the question stays compact.

  • Add Image in the Exhibits block — add an exhibit image from a file.
  • Add to Exhibits in an image's context menu — move an image from the text to the exhibits.
  • Right-click an exhibit: Copy — copy, Delete — delete.

A testlet has its own exhibits on the Exhibits tab. They belong to the whole case rather than to a single question.
