Why use the Legacy Editor?

The Legacy Editor is helpful if you have a custom eBook using assignment content from more than one text or if your course includes any imported questions.  All imported questions appear in the course's My Custom Questions question bank and may be more easily located using the Legacy Editor. 

For a custom eBook/course using multiple titles, the assignment content from the text(s) using the fewest chapters will be the imported assignment content.


Use the process below to add the STATIC or a specific RANDOM version of a question to an auto-graded assignment using the Legacy Editor.

  • STATIC version (found in the text) 
  • Specific RANDOM/Algorithmic version (data differs from text; all students will receive the same version)


To add Algorithmic versions for which data sets vary among students, see Legacy Editor (Algorithmic versions).
