# Import questions into a lesson activity

You can import questions into a lesson using a variety of file formats. To import questions into your lesson, follow these steps:

1. In the lesson go to the **Edit** tab.
2. Click on **Import questions** (if you are viewing the **Collapsed** tab then this will be under the **Add a new page...** dropdown menu).
3. Select the format from the dropdown menu.
4. Add the file (either via the file picker or by dragging and dropping it into the file area).
5. Click **Import**.

The lesson module will create a page for each question you import.
