# Custom interview questions and templates

## How to create reusable interview questions and multi-question interview templates

Navigate to **Customization \>** **Interview Templates** to create custom questions and templates that can be pre-loaded into an [interview](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/creating-your-first-code-interview-session?hsLang=en).

### Creating interview questions

You can build your own library of interview questions by creating a custom single-file question (basic) or multi-file question (advanced), or by bookmarking a question from our massive library of coding and spreadsheet challenges.

**Single-file question**

You can include a name, perceived difficulty, instructions, starter code, and any private notes.

**Multi-file interview question**

You can launch a simulated editor to create the multi-file interview question environment that you want and then save it as a templated question.

**Select from challenge library**

If you select one of our coding challenges, you can run test cases during the interview, although no score will be saved.

**Creating custom SQL tables**

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

### Loading interview questions

You can load any questions from your library or our library during an interview by clicking **Load Question** at the top of an interview.

### Creating interview templates

You can combine multiple interview questions into interview templates by clicking **New interview template** and then selecting the questions.

You can pre-load the template into the interview when [generating a new interview](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/interview?hsLang=en):

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