# Configuration panel

The configuration panel allows you to set various properties of a question, such as instructions for the test taker and supporting cue cards in the form of images, audio, or video clips. This helps you customize the test to match the standardized language tests.

As soon as you click inside any **Question field**, the **configuration panel** appears on the right, as shown in **Blue** in the image below.

You can choose a different question type for each question using the dropdown menu in the configuration panel (highlighted in **Red** in the image above).&#x20;

The panel updates its input fields based on the selected question type. Some question types allow cue card uploads, while others require text for the test taker to read aloud.

The next sections will explain each question type and its configuration settings in detail.
