Adding Items to an Activity Using the Activity Editor

Add Items to an Activity in the Item List section of the Author Site Activity Editor.

Once you have hit the + Create button in the top right of the Activity editor view you can begin to populate the Item list for the Activity. 

Under the Items tab of the Activity editor, you can select Find items or + Create item. This allows the author to either select a previously created Item from the Item bank or create a new Item.
