Common Reference to Add New Question: Add and manage images

biz:Examiner enables you to add and reuse images across different questions. When you add or edit a question, there are different options to add an image. For example in the question text itself, or through the ‘Media/Resources’ tab to support the question.

All the images are available in an images gallery and you can use some or all the images for a common reference in all the questions within the owner.

Note: For different reasons, it is recommended you prepare all the images in advance before uploading these into biz:Examiner. The images need to be in the right file format (jpeg or png), and should be in the correct ratio for the dimensions and, and with optimized encoding to keep image size low. Optimizing image size can help with performance on local hardware when an exam has many images.
