If the goal is to simply create passages for later use, it is possible to add a passage to a district test bank without creating an assessment first. To do so, navigate directly to the Passage Editor located in the Assessment pull-down in the navigation bar.
This will navigate to the eDoctrina Passages Homepage. This page allows the user to view all passages that exist under the selected conditions of the available filters. It is also possible to edit any passage that has been created by the signed in user as well as view passages that have been created by other district users.
The 
button will navigate the user directly to the passage editor and the process for adding/linking questions is the same as described above.
IMPORTANT: To properly save a Passage, it is required to add questions. If no questions are added, the passage will not save and it will not be able to be recovered.
Adding a Passage to an Assessment from the Question Bank
If an assessment exists and an existing passage needs to be added, select the 
button from within the Assessment Editor.
This will navigate the user to the eDoctrina Question Bank. This is where all questions located in the selected Question Bank will be located. This tool is designed to search for questions, but it is possible to locate a question linked to a passage by searching by the Passage #, any keywords in the Passage itself, or by any entered Tags.
For more information on how to add a question to an assessment through this tool, please visit our help guide regarding the eDoctrina Question Bank.
- The large number in this box represents the number of questions selected within the question bank, that will be added to the assessment.
- If the questions linked to a desired Passage still cannot be found, select the
option as there are a few tools here that will make finding the questions linked to the passage easier. - Once the desired passage or question has been located, simply click the
button. This will add the selected question to the assessment.
It will also produce a pop-up window that will ask if all questions linked to the same passage should be added to the assessment.
- Click the
button to add ALL questions linked to the passage. - Click the button to ONLY add the selected question(s).

button if the creator does not wish to add any other questions linked to this passage.
Once all of the desired passages or questions have been added to the assessment, use the 
button to navigate back to the Assessment Editor.
