New Quizzes do not use Question Banks, instead they use Item Banks. Additionally, currently do not offer the option of “question group” type questions. When you migrate a Classic Quiz with question groups to a New Quiz, the New Quiz is unable to pull from the Question Bank, so the questions do not migrate over.
The workaround to this problem involves converting classic question banks into multiple New Quiz item banks, which is a fairly complicated process at this point.
See our tutorial, Convert Question Banks to Item Banks, for guidance on how to do this.
Canvas is currently working on making the conversion from Classic Quiz question banks to New Quiz item banks easier. In the meantime, we recommend continuing to use Classic Quizzes if you have questions groups within your quizzes or tests.
