This article explains how to manage different versions of questions in YouTestMe GetCertified. Each time a question is edited, the system automatically creates a new version while keeping the same question ID. This way, you can always track what has been changed, who made the changes, and when they were made. You can also add comments to describe the reason for the change, compare different versions side by side, and even revert to an older version if needed.
Editing a Question
To edit a question, follow these steps:
- From the main menu, navigate to the Tests tab.
- Select Question pools.
- From the list of pools, choose the desired question pool.
- Navigate to the Questions tab.
- From the Actions column, click the Edit icon for the desired question.
A new pop-up window will open where you can edit the question.
Click Save after making your changes to apply them.
Note: If the question has not yet been used in a test, the same version will be updated. However, if the current version has already been used in a test, the system will automatically create a new version of the question.
Adding Comments in the Question Log
- After clicking Save, a new pop-up window will appear where you can add a comment.
- If the Display question version settings option is enabled, you can also:
- Add the Version external ID, if needed.
- Set the Version activation time. This determines when the version will be activated automatically. If left empty, the version will be activated immediately.
- Finally, click Confirm to save your comment.
Previewing the Question Log

Viewing Question Versions
You can also view all available versions of a question to track changes and compare updates.
To do so:
From the Actions column, click the View All Versions icon.
A new table will appear, displaying the following details:

Comparing Versions
To compare a version with its previous version and see the differences side by side:
- From the Actions column, click the three dots icon.

A new dialog will appear, showing all changes in the question highlighted. For example, you will see modifications such as:
