New Feature: Attach Documents to Individual or Multiple Questions

Do you have a document, website, PowerPoint or audio file that would be a great supplement to a portion of your Castle Learning assignment, but not all of it?  No worries!

Now you can attach a document to individual questions in an assignment.  This allows you to have multiple documents, and only have documents appear on the questions you choose.
