Description
This article is intended for faculty to show how to migrate a Classic Quiz into a New Quiz in Canvas.
Note: In June 2024, New Quizzes will replace Classic Quizzes. New Quizzes does not have all of the capabilities of Classic Quizzes (click here for differences) as it is still undergoing development by Canvas. New Quizzes do have the functionality that most faculty-created tests require. It is recommended that you migrate your Classic Quizzes to New Quizzes before June 2024 unless you need one of the features mentioned here.
Steps
- Select Quizzes from the Course Navigation Menu.
- Find the name of the Quiz you wish to convert
- a. Click on Options, three dots, to the right of the Quiz title
- b. Click Migrate
Note: The conversion process may take a few seconds or minutes, depending on how large your Quiz is.
- Once the Quiz has been converted, you will see the New Quiz at the bottom of your list and the old Quiz still on the list.
Note: To help differentiate between Quiz types, all Quizzes will have a rocket ship icon. If the rocket ship is filled in, it is a New Quiz.
If the rocket ship is not filled in, it is an old Quiz and will need to be converted.
- Delete the old Quiz
- a. Click on Options, three dots, next to the old Quiz.
- b. Click Delete.
- c. In the popup window that asks “Are you sure you want to delete this quiz?” click OK.
