Frequently Asked Questions

​
If I Clone a Test, Will a New Test ID Be Created?

Yes. To find the cloned test, click the Tests tab and clear all filters. The cloned test appears with a different test ID.

​
What Happens to the Items in a Cloned Test?

The items retain the same item ID and display the original author’s name. You can edit items in the cloned test: when you save those edits, a new item ID is created. Edits apply only to the cloned test and do not affect the original.
