Bulk change question points in tests – 4000.1

Impact: Instructors
Updated Help Topic: Edit Tests and Questions
Idea Exchange ID: LEARNU-I-247

Instructors can now efficiently update point values for multiple questions in tests using new bulk editing options. This enhancement supports:

  • Selecting all questions at once, with the option to deselect specific questions if desired.
  • Selecting specific questions (e.g., question 1, 4, 9, 15, 16, 27, and 32) for targeted point value adjustments.
  • Selecting questions by type (e.g., all True/False questions) to apply consistent point value changes across that question type.
  • Selecting questions by type AND specific questions.
