Using the Question Editor Toolbar
The Question Editor supplies several generic options you can use when authoring any type of template. The upper section of the Question Editor toolbar contains the following controls:
Preview button
Click Preview to refresh the editor and display the current question in a student view.
Editor button
Click Editor to return to the previous editing screen after viewing a Preview.
Save button
Click the global Save button to save all your work on the current question.
Note: It's always a good idea to save your work periodically, so that a mistake or computer glitch doesn't cost you a significant amount of work or time.
Done button
Click the Done button at the top of the screen when you are ready to exit the Question Editor.
Breadcrumb links
Click a link in the breadcrumb "trail" to return to a previous editing area.
Undo/Redo buttons
Click Undo to remove any changes you made to the question since the last time you saved. Click Redo to revert back to the previous state.
Status Indicators
These "health-state" indicators show whether external services are running and accessible. From left to right they indicate: Displet, Applet, and CXP services that are required to render items and store content.
Green means the corresponding external service is up.
Save/Cancel buttons
When available, click Save at the bottom of individual editing tabs before opening a different tab. Click Cancel to leave the tab without saving your changes.
