Question Papers Overview

A Question Paper is a structured test or exam built from questions in your Question Bank. A paper defines what questions appear, in what order, how scoring works, and how the test experience is controlled for students — timers, navigation, answer checking, and more.

# What the Dashboard Shows

When you open Question Papers, the home page shows a summary of your paper library:

Card	What it means
Total Question Papers	All papers regardless of status
Live Question Papers	Papers that have been published and are available for students
Under Review	Papers that have been created but not yet published
Withdrawn	Papers that were live but have been taken down

You can also see how many papers are shared globally vs. created by your institution, and a breakdown of recent activity.

# How a Paper Is Structured

A question paper is made up of a Table of Contents (ToC) — a hierarchy of items that organize how questions are presented. There are three types of items you can add:

Item type	What it is
Section	A named container that groups related question sets or paragraphs. Sections can have their own time limits. Use sections to divide a paper into subjects or parts (e.g., "Part A — Physics").
Question Set	A collection of questions from the Question Bank. Each question set has its own scoring rules, time limit, and shuffle settings. This is where the actual questions live.
Text Paragraph	A block of instructional text or a reading passage shown to students before a question set. Paragraphs can have a reading time limit.

A simple paper might have a single Question Set. A complex exam (like NEET or JEE) might have multiple Sections, each with one or more Question Sets.

Note: Question Paper does not have any explicit structure. You can organize your question paper different sections and different question sets along with instructions you wish.

# The Publish Workflow

Papers follow the same three-state workflow as questions:

Under Review  →  Live  →  Withdrawn

Status	Meaning
Under Review	Paper is being built or has not been approved yet. Not visible to students.
Live	Paper is published and available for student assignments or test sessions. Live papers are read-only.
Withdrawn	Paper has been taken down. No longer active, but remains in the library.

# How Papers Connect to Tags and Questions?

• Tags — you can tag a paper just as you tag questions. This lets you filter and find papers by subject area, exam type, difficulty, or any dimension in your Tag Catalog.
• Questions — when building a paper, you select questions from the Question Bank using the built-in search and filter dialog.

Note: Papers do not duplicate questions. They reference them. If a question is updated in the Question Bank, the paper automatically reflects the latest version.

# Getting Started

Three main tasks for the Question Paper are:

1. Create a Question Paper — Build and configure a new paper
2. Search Question Papers — Find and manage existing papers
3. Viewing and Assessing Submissions — View and analyze submissions of a question paper
