Exporting different test versions.

does testgen track versions of a test internally? In other words if I have a test with 5 questions (version A), then I scramble the questions and answers (version b) and then I scramble again (version c).
Is there a way to export these together or is each version independent of the previous? Basically, no version tracking is happening.

thanks

TestGen Forums: 

TestGen doesn't track versions internally.

If you want to export, you will need to export each version independently; that is, scramble/shuffle, export, repeat as desired. Keep in mind that if you import them into a CMS, the CMS may not preserve the final order and shuffle specified.

If you are printing, TestGen will generate multiple forms automatically if specified. After choosing print you will be presented with a dialog to generate forms and what to scramble/shuffle. If you want a file instead of a print, on Mac, you can redirect the print job for each version to a PDF via the print dialog. On Windows, you can set up your target printer to print to file.
