Does the New Quiz format allow for a bonus point question on an exam without jumping through hoops? I'd like the ability to place a harder question at the end of my exams that will not count against the student if they get it wrong, but will add bonus points (potentially above the maximum value of the exam) if they get it correct. Does this exist as an automated process within New Quizzes?

I don't see that as option for New Quizzes, @MarkHarner but have a workaround in mind. I would make that New Quiz question worth 0 points and then grade by question so you can award fudge points for those students who get the question correct. If you want that to be automated, that is an excellent suggestion to improve Canvas. The process for doing so is detailed on the page How do Ideas and Themes work in the Instructure Community?
Creating an idea does not provide an immediate solution to the problem you described, though it is a solution. I’m going to mark it as such and hope that our colleagues who have a similar challenge will find the best way to contribute. If you decide to create an idea, please link it here.
