# Custom interview questions and templates

## Create reusable interview questions and templates to streamline your live technical interviews

Coderbyte allows you to create custom interview questions, save questions from the challenge library, and combine multiple questions into reusable interview templates. These can be loaded into live interviews to help standardize your team's interview process.

To get started, navigate to **Custom library** **\> Interviews**. 

#### Creating interview questions

You can build your own library of interview questions by creating custom single-file or multi-file questions, or by selecting existing challenges from Coderbyte's library.

**Single-file question**

Create a custom coding question with a name, difficulty level, instructions, starter code, and private notes.

**Multi-file interview question**

Create a multi-file coding environment using the simulated editor. You can configure the environment and save it as a reusable interview question.

**Questions from the challenge library**

You can also select coding challenges from Coderbyte's library to use during interviews. When using library challenges, you can run test cases during the interview, although **no score** will be saved.

**Creating custom SQL tables**

You can also [upload custom SQL tables](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/uploading-custom-sql-tables?hsLang=en) during an interview.

#### Loading interview questions

During a live interview, click **Load Question** at the top of the interview editor to select a question from your custom library or Coderbyte's challenge library.

#### Creating interview templates

Interview templates allow you to combine multiple questions into a reusable set that can be loaded into future interviews. 

To create a template, click **New interview template** and select the questions you'd like to include.

Once saved, you can load the template when [creating a new interview.](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/interview?hsLang=en)

Or you can pre-load a template from within the interview lobby:
