Section titles/text in Question Library do not update in Quizzes (and vice versa)
I recently discovered that when the Section Title or Section Text is changed in the Question Library, the updates do not carry over to any Quizzes where that section is used. Similarly, if the text is edited directly within a Quiz, the changes do not sync back to the Question Library.
This behaviour is different from how actual questions behave when they are pulled from the Question Library, and it can easily lead to inconsistencies or errors in future quiz iterations.
This is especially problematic when Sections are used to present shared content—such as fact patterns or other contextual information—intended to apply to multiple questions across a quiz.
Is this expected behaviour or a bug?

Hello @Scott.W.127!
Thank you for reaching out to the Brightspace Community!.
Based on the scenario you mention, this behavior seems to be expected. Section Titles and Section Text do not sync between the Question Library and individual Quizzes. Changes made in one location remain isolated and do not automatically propagate to the other.
By design, Brightspace’s architecture treats section metadata (titles, text) as local copies once added to a quiz, rather than shared references.
Hope this helps!
Please feel welcome to reach out with more questions.
Best regards
