You can migrate an old ("classic quiz") Canvas quiz to be used in New Quizzes.

While New Quizzes migration supports all question types, you should still review your assessments before assigning them to students.

Also, the following elements are known issues with migration: 
  • After migration to New Quizzes, multiple dropdown questions display as matching questions.
  • Migrating question groups to New Quizzes is not supported.

To migrate classic quizzes to New Quizzes


  1. In the module navigation of your module, click Quizzes.
  2. For a quiz that you wish to migrate, click the options icon (⋮), then select Migrate.
  3. Once migrated, the quiz displays a New Quiz icon Image Placeholder.
  4. To open your quiz, click the name of the quiz, then click Build.

Note: By default, migrated quizzes are unpublished.
