Article Summary

Description

In the Question Bank, it is possible to view all versions of a question, restore previous versions, and lock question versions. By opening the example of a question, it also shows how many versions a question has.

A new version is saved whenever there is a change in content or a change in the question's setting (language setting, calculator availability). This becomes active immediately in the key(matrix) in which the question occurs.

Attention!
When a question is changed (in content) while it is used in an active test(matrix), multiple versions of a question can become active in a test. To prevent this, but still be able to edit questions, it is possible to lock the version used in a test. All test(s) using this question will use the locked version, while a new version can be worked on in the meantime

Settings

Pinning

Click the button to go to the overview of versions and comments. The window that appears will show all versions of this question, with the newest version at the top. An example is shown below.

Each version will show a thumbtack icon, this allows a version to be pinned. A pinned version will have a fully padded thumbtack icon: Version pinned. Click on the thumbtack to lock or unlock a question.

Only the content version of the question is pinned. Adjustments to metadata, such as question properties and categories, are always applied immediately.

Locking a version of a question can be applied, for example, when the same version of a question is to be used in a test during a (school) year, but adjustments have to be made to the question. This way, these questions can already be adjusted during the year without the changes being immediately visible in new tests. Only approved questions can be fixed.

Reset version

Click the icon with the image.png arrow to go back to the specific version. When this icon is grayed out, it means that this particular version is identical to the version currently selected.

Caution!
Resetting to another version will not take over the original version number, but will create a new version identical to the old one. This new version will then be placed at the top of the overview
Tip!

When filtering on questions in a question bank, it is possible to show only questions with fixed versions. Further specification is possible: it is possible to show only questions where the fixed version is not the most recent. See also the image below).
