How do I edit an item through an item bank in Mastery Connect?

In Mastery Connect, you can edit an item that you create in an item bank before the item has been published. Teachers can edit items they create in their personal item banks. Administrators can edit items they create in the district item bank.

Note: If you create an item from within an assessment, you must edit the item from within the assessment.
