This section explains how to create test from a template. This template creates the structure to the test. When you have created this structure, you will be able to include the questions.

In a nutshell: once you have created the tests in the Authoring Tool, they will be available in the Partner Portal service, which has a Test Catalog to pick the ones you want to send to your students at that moment.
