Layout
How to control whether reference material appears above or alongside a question using regular and sidebar layouts.
The layout setting controls how the question prompt and any reference material are arranged on screen for the candidate.
Regular Layout
The default layout. The question prompt appears above the answer input (choices, text field, etc.). Use this for most questions where no additional reference material is needed.
Sidebar Layout
The sidebar layout splits the screen into two panels. The sidebar (left or right panel) displays reference material — a reading passage, image, data table, diagram, or any rich content. The main panel shows the question prompt and answer input.
This is useful when candidates need to refer to source material while answering — for example, a reading comprehension question, a data interpretation question, or a code review exercise.

The sidebar is shared across all questions on the same page. If you place multiple questions on one page and use sidebar layout, all of them will show the same sidebar content.
