Delete questions, subjects and topics
A question can only be deleted if it does not appear in an exam. A subject or topic can be removed if there are no items beneath it in the tree view, the currently selected sort view determining the extent of the deletion.
Delete a question
-
Select the question in the Questions pane tree view.
-
Select the Home tab and click Delete in the Questions section of the ribbon.
Or
Right-click and select Delete.
Delete a subject
-
Select the subject in the Questions pane tree view.
-
Select the Home tab and click Delete in the Subjects section of the ribbon.
Delete a topic
-
Select the topic in the Questions pane tree view.
-
Select the Home tab and click Delete in the Topics section of the ribbon.
When deleting a subject or topic, the program checks to see if there are items beneath it in the tree view and, depending on the current sort view, if the item appears anywhere else in the tree view.
When sorted by subject type, there will only be one occurrence of the item. Therefore, a topic is removed if it does not contain any questions and a subject if it does not contain any topics. However, when sorted by question type, for example, there may be multiple occurrences of the same subject and topic in the tree view. If you delete the only occurrence of a Geography question in the multi-choice category, that topic or subject will be removed from multi-choice but not from any other category that Geography appears in.
