Quest Ladder / Presentation
Presentation: how a question is styled
Choose the visual treatment a generated question is dressed in, once for the whole type.
The same question, in the right clothes for the age group.
What it controls
The Presentation tab of Question details sets the visual treatment every question generated from this type is dressed in. It is set on the type, not per question, so a learner working down a ladder is not relearning the furniture at every step.
It is narrower than it sounds. The hint under the field says it plainly: the choice keeps the block layout unchanged and only the typography chrome differs. It will not move your diagram, resize your answer box or change where the hints appear — those follow from the content blocks you built and the question format you chose.
The three modes
| Mode | What it does |
|---|---|
| Platform default (by age group) | Follows the mapping an administrator has set for each age group. The right answer almost always, because it means a change of house style reaches your types without you touching them. |
| Named pack | Pins this type to one specific pack, whatever the age group would otherwise have chosen. |
| Baseline (no pack styling) | The plain treatment, with no pack applied. |
Choosing Named pack reveals a Presentation pack list. Packs that do not suit the age group you set are still listed, marked other ages, so you can pick one deliberately rather than being quietly prevented.
Set the age group first
If no age group is set on the Classification tab, this panel tells you so: the preview falls back to the Scholar baseline until you choose one.
That notice is worth acting on rather than dismissing. With Platform default selected and no age group, you are previewing a treatment your learners may never see — and the type will pick up a different one the moment somebody fills the field in.
When to move off the default
Leave it on Platform default unless you have a specific reason. The two that come up in practice:
- A type is shared across ages — a numeracy drill used with both an eleven-year-old and an adult returner — and you want one consistent look rather than two.
- You are building for a community or a school with its own house style, and a named pack is that style.
Whichever you choose, look at it in the preview on the Review stage before publishing. Nothing here affects marking, timing or what counts as correct; if a change appears to alter the result, the cause is elsewhere and shared settings is the place to start.
