Documentation:WeBWorK/How to reuse problems from other problem sets

From UBC Wiki

If you would like to reuse problems from other problem sets in your WeBWorK course, or you have imported a problem set from a past course that you would like to use problems from, you can do so through the Library Browser in your WeBWorK course.

What you need to have in your WeBWorK course:

  • The problem set that you want to reuse problems from
  • The problem set that you want to add problems to

How to add problems from one problem set to another

  1. Click Library Browser under the Main Menu.
  2. Click the drop-down menu next to Add problems to Target Set, select the problem set that you would like to add problems to.
  3. In the Browse section, click From This Course.
