Managing Questions
Overview
The Questions tab lets you create and manage quiz questions directly from the dashboard. You can build questions for any quiz in your courses without switching to the WordPress admin.
Find your questions at My Dashboard > Questions in the sidebar.
Who Can Access Questions
| Role | Access |
|---|---|
| Administrator | All questions on the site |
| Instructor | Questions they created + questions in shared courses |
| Group Leader | Questions in courses assigned to their groups |
Viewing Your Questions
The Questions list shows each question with:
- Question title
- Status badge (Published, Draft, or Pending)
- Access badge showing your relationship to the question:
A stats bar at the top displays counts for Total, Published, Draft, and Pending questions.
Filtering Questions
Use the filter bar above the question list to narrow results:
| Filter | What it does |
|---|---|
| Course | Show questions from a specific course |
| Lesson | Narrow further to a specific lesson |
| Quiz | Show only questions in a specific quiz |
| Search | Find questions by title |
Filters are chained — selecting a course narrows the lesson options, and selecting a lesson narrows the quiz options.
