If you tried to import any questions from ExamSoft which were NOT multiple choice you'll need to review them in the Flagged Questions tab. Similarly, questions with images attached will also appear here. Non multiple choice questions are flagged because the import system can't tell if they were supposed to be matching, fill in the blank, or essay type questions. By default they are given a type of essay but this will need to be changed for matching or fill in the blank question types.
Click on the Flagged Q’s tab. On this tab, you will see all of the questions with images and any non multiple choice questions.
Click the pencil icon to edit the format of any questions.
If there are no edits to be made, click the flag to approve the question.
Images will automatically import to the top of the question.
To edit the image position easily, click Source from the text editor box.
Copy and paste the source code to the correct place in the question.
