  8. Drag each question from the Question Bank to the appropriate place in the topic, such as a chapter.

    Please note that there are two distinct ways of attaching questions to chapters/items of content within assessments. If you drag and drop each question over the title of a chapter/item of content, each question is listed individually, and it becomes mandatory for users to answer each question that is listed. If you drag and drop each question on top of one another, they will be grouped together underneath the chapter/item of content, which results in users being asked one of these questions at random. For more information, see Adding a question to a chapter/item of content .
