Can I dedupe a question bank?
Jul 12, 2017
We have a large project with many question banks some of which are nested ie Bank A is a subset of Bank B which is a subset of Bank C. Unfortunately, there is currently no way to create a question bank that is dynamically the union of other question banks. So I create the larger question banks by manually adding all the sub banks one at a time. Of course then if we change one of the questions it is difficult to chase down all the places in which it was placed.
In the process of doing all this I accidently double click a button and two copies of a question bank get added instead of one, etc.
I would like a way to find duplicates in a question bank. Better still would be a deduping operation. Has anyone got any ideas for how this might be done?

Hi Lewis
You could do a Find in SL but it might be easier to export the file for translation which creates a word doc and then do a find in the word doc and it will give the references in a side panel. Bit of back and forth but it might help.
That’s a really clever idea. I have not done any exporting, but from what you suggest I assume that I could export just the question banks I am interested in and then import the edited version. I had assumed that all I could export was a whole project, but this, as you say is seemingly inelegant, might work very well. I can easily dedupe by sorting the questions in Word and deleting the duplicates.
I am going to use this method until something better comes along.
Thanks again.
