## Question

Use a Topic with the Text Source

## Short answer

Use the Text source when you only have a topic or prompt.

## Full answer

QuizRise creates questions from the content you provide. The current dashboard source picker does not include a separate Topic source.

If you only have a topic, use the Text source and add enough context for QuizRise to generate useful questions.

For longer notes or pasted lesson content, use [Create Quiz from Text](/help/en/create-quiz-from-text).

## What to enter

Include details such as:

- The topic name.
- The audience or grade level.
- The learning objective.
- The key points that should be covered.
- Anything that should be excluded.

Example:

> Create quiz questions for 8th grade students about photosynthesis. Focus on chlorophyll, sunlight, carbon dioxide, water, oxygen, glucose, and why plants need photosynthesis. Avoid advanced biochemistry.

## Steps

1. Open [QuizRise](https://app.quizrise.com/create/quiz).

2. Choose **From Text**.

3. Enter your topic with the context you want QuizRise to use.

4. Click **Continue**.

5. Configure the quiz language, question types, difficulty, and question count.

6. Click **Create Quiz**.

For best results, do not enter only one or two keywords. Add the exact scope you want the quiz to follow.
