7.  Click Continue.
    
8.  You’ll see the question bank screen with the **different AI-generated options** based on the topic you described.
    
9.  Click the **square** in the top-left corner of each question to select the ones that will be included in the bank.
    
    1.  You can also edit a specific question by clicking the three dots in the top-right corner of that question and selecting **Edit question**. Another way to make changes is by clicking the _Edit content_ button.
        
    2.  **The table will open again**, allowing you to make any changes you need before saving.
        
    3.  To delete a question, click the three dots and select **Delete question**.
        
10.  If you want to add more questions to your bank, click **Add questions**. You can do this either by importing a file or creating them with AI.

**Heads up!** All Team members can add interactive questions to the question bank. However, only creators can delete, edit, or rename both the bank and the questions. If the creator of the question bank leaves the Team, the person with the Owner role will automatically gain full permissions over that question bank.
