Congratulations on adding the 'check box' for multi short answer.  This is brilliant and allows us to build forms within an assessment.

One suggestion, if possible, have the formatting tools to the side of the question rather than the top.  When you a large 'form' like a risk assessment, you need to scroll up and down to add the relevant fields or format text.

  Hi Vicki,

  Glad to hear the new Checkbox addition to Multi Short Answer is working well for you. In terms of authoring these long-form style questions, we are currently looking into better layouts for our Authoring area which would include a 'fixed' toolbar so that authors always have access to the formatting controls.

  In the meantime, you can use the 'full screen' toolbar option for a view that allows you to always access the toolbar controls even when scrolled down the bottom of a long question. Please see the screenshots below.

  That would be cool, sometimes my screen won't let me scroll properly either and will jump back to the section I am editing rather than let me scroll up to the formatting bar.
