You can use the Authoring > Items page to create and manage test items. This article shows how to manage items. The actions you can take depend on your role permissions. See Authoring or Editing a Test Item to create an item. 

View, Duplicate, Edit or Delete an Item

To modify a single item:

  1. Go to AD Authoring > Items.
  2. Select the Bank with the items you want to manage. Select additional filters to narrow your search if needed.
  3. For an individual item, use the icons  in the Actions column to:
    • Preview 
    • Clone 
    • Edit 
    • Delete 


      Speed the Creation of Similar Items

      If you have an item with passages, paired passages, trait scoring, etc., you won’t want to redo the same thing for multiple items. Instead, create the first item with all the elements you need. Then clone it and swap out whatever is different, such as replacing English text for Spanish. Be sure to give the new item a unique Item Name and Identifier.
