Layout
How to control the visual arrangement of a question: Regular mode places the prompt above (Stacked) or beside (Side by side) the answer input; Sidebar mode adds a dedicated panel on the left or right for reference material such as reading passages, images, or data tables.
Regular
The default layout. No sidebar panel is shown. Within Regular mode you can choose how the question prompt is positioned relative to the answer input:
- Stacked — the prompt appears above the answer input. Use this for most questions.
- Side by side — the prompt appears to the left of the answer input in a two-column arrangement. Useful when the prompt is short and you want to make efficient use of horizontal space.
Sidebar
The sidebar layout splits the screen into two panels. The sidebar displays reference material — a reading passage, image, data table, diagram, or any rich content. The main panel shows the question prompt and answer input.
You can place the sidebar on either side:
- Sidebar left — reference material on the left, question on the right.
- Sidebar right — question on the left, reference material on the right.
When sidebar mode is active, a rich content editor appears below the position selector where you can write or paste the sidebar content.
Sidebar layout 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.
