Layouts define positioning for all of the content that appears on a question slide. Each layout is built with multiple blocks:
- Question
- Answers
- Media
The blocks borders are not visible in the final quiz.
It’s obvious that different question types, questions with video and audio files and text questions may have different layouts.
The new editor lets you select from nine built-in layouts* or create a custom layout.
Applying a Built-In Layout
By default, all questions have the Default layout applied. There are other standard built-in layouts that you can apply and use.
To apply a built-in layout to a question:
- Select a question that you want to apply a layout to
- Click Slide View on the toolbar
- On the Home tab in the Layout group click Layout
- Select the layout thumbnail from the list of the available layouts
Once you click on the layout thumbnail, the layout will automatically be applied to a question. Text blocks and media resources will be organized according to the selected layout.
Creating a Custom Layout
If you do not find any standard layout suitable for your needs, you can create a custom layout.
To create a custom layout:
- Move and resize blocks within a question slide
- Change the number of columns for answer choices
You can remove the Media block if necessary. Later, when you attach a media file to your question, the block will be recovered. The Question and Answer blocks cannot be removed since a question have to contain question text and answer choices.
Resetting Layouts
Text blocks and media resources that you added to a slide can be easily moved and resized.
If you want to reset their size and position back to the initial layout state, click the Reset button on the toolbar.
