Browsing Questions

How to navigate, filter, and search questions in the Question Bank using the repository navigator — folder picker, filter bar, and default folder.

Published 2026/06/30

The Questions tab in the Question Bank uses a repository navigator to let you browse and filter your question library efficiently. The navigator consists of two parts: a folder picker and a filter bar.

Folder Picker

At the top of the Questions tab is a folder button showing the currently selected folder and its question count. Clicking it opens a dropdown with your full folder hierarchy:

  • All folders — the first option; shows all questions regardless of folder.
  • Folder tree — your folders displayed as a collapsible hierarchy. Each folder shows its question count. Click a folder to filter the question list to that folder only. Click the expand arrow to drill into sub-folders without selecting the parent.
  • Search — a search box inside the dropdown lets you filter folders by name for quick navigation in large folder structures.
  • Sort — switch between sorting folders A–Z or by question count (largest first).

Default Folder

Any folder can be marked as your default (favorite) folder by clicking the star icon next to the folder picker when that folder is selected. The default folder is marked with a star in the tree and is pre-selected automatically the next time you open the Question Bank. This is useful when most of your daily work is in one folder.

Filter Bar

Below the folder picker is the filter bar, which provides additional ways to narrow the question list:

  • Find by ID — look up a specific question directly by its ID.
  • Question type — filter to one or more question types (e.g. Multiple Choice, Short Answer, Code).
  • Language — filter by the language set on each question.
  • Status — filter by question status (e.g. Draft, Active).
  • Tags — filter by one or more tags.
  • Dimensions / Labels — filter by scoring dimensions or labels if your Question Bank schema uses them.

Active filters appear as chips in the filter bar. Click the × on any chip to clear that filter individually, or clear all filters at once to return to the unfiltered view.

First-Time Setup: Building the Repository

The navigator is powered by a question repository index. If the index has not been built yet, a warning banner appears in the Questions tab. Go to Question Bank → Settings and click Build Repository to generate the index. This is a one-time operation; the index stays in sync automatically as questions are created, updated, or deleted afterwards.
