how do I copy a question from a quiz into an existing question bank?

 @kdelvecchio ,

I am pulling these instructions from here: https://community.canvaslms.com/message/180859-importing-existing-quiz-questions-into-a-new-question... 

The method used to get question banks created would be to create a quiz export where the quizzes reside, then import that newly created export .zip file back into the course. Choose the "QTI .zip file" when picking an import type.  This will most likely duplicate the quiz, but you can deleted the duplicated quiz and keep the question bank.  In addition, since there are quizzes that already exist within the course I would suggest selecting: "Overwrite assessment content with matching IDs".

I would also recommend testing this in either your test or beta environment or in a development course.

The link to the instructions are no longer there.  I have a classic quiz. How do I export the questions in any existing quiz to a quiz bank that I created?  when I tried the import, it only duplicated the quizzes in my existing quiz, nothing went into the bank.

It looks like you stumbled upon a link that did not migrate when Instructure moved to a new Community platform in the Summer of 2020.  One of the nice things, though, is that if you find a link that is broken (like the one above), if you look at the full URL, you might be able to get an idea of what the title of the posting was called.  In this case, all you have to do is type in the title of the posting into the search bar at the top of any Community page, and then you'll see the result.  I did that, and so here is the link for you:

I hope this will be of help to you!
