Turn a Drive file into a Flex activity

On a school or district license, AI Convert Document turns a document into an auto-scoring Flex activity. Click + New File → AI Convert Document → Continue with AI Convert, then click Pick from Drive and choose the file.


AI Convert pulls the questions and content already in your document into a scrolling Flex activity. It doesn’t keep the page layout or write new questions; to keep the original look, use Import Document instead.
