Update a Question Pool

When you update a question pool in the Question Pool Manager, you can:

• Rename it
• Configure the default values for new questions created in the pool
• Select program or module sessions for automatic exemptions
• Select the users to receive notification emails when there are questions in the pool that are pending approval.

You would usually create a question pool, for which you only specify its name and level in the hierarchy, and then update it to configure the properties described above, if necessary. 

Administrators with unrestricted access to the Exam Utilities feature in System Roles (Manage Features > Exam Manager Features) can update question pools.
