The Item Edit Text Edit page allows the user the ability to Edit the Title and Text of the Item along with setting which options are correct and the point values associated with them. Once changes are made the user can click the Save button in the bottom right hand corner to commit changes to the database. Note: User rights might be restricted by Form rights, Bank rights or the record being locked.

The user can show/hide the Item preview which displays the Item stem and option text formatted. It also displays any linked or embedded Attachment images. This area can be shown or hidden to save on screen real estate by using the Show/Hide Preview check box (in blue). The user can also refresh the preview display by clicking the Refresh Preview button.

Item Writing supports a Track Changes feature that uses additional markup to highlight areas of changed text on the Item or Option text. This additional markup is preserved with the Item text until such time as the changes are accepted. Only systems with the track Changes functionality implemented have these options available.

In screen shot above, the stem text of the Item has Track Changes mark up. Once the changes are accepted (using the Accept Changes button (in green) the additional mark up is removed.

The tab strip at the top of the page allows the user to go back to the Item entry grid Selection, to the Item Edit General page, to the Item Edit Text page, to the Item Edit Competency page, to the Item Edit Reference page, to the Item Edit Attachment page, to the Item Edit Statistics page or Usage page. Note: depending on system configuration not all options are available.

If there are multiple versions of the Item, the user can navigate amongst them using the Select Version drop down in the blue info bar. See Versioning for more.
