Import manually with Copy & Paste

There are third party files that the IR Quiz Editor may not be able to import automatically, or you may prefer to enter your question items with a plain line per line interface. The import function named ‘Import manually with Copy & paste’ allows you to enter data as a table so that the two described scenarios above can be achieved.
