FEATURE REQUEST: New Quizzes - copying questions and/or merging quizzes

[ancayanj]

Would like to explore Canvas Quiz options to allow:

1) copying a single question from one Canvas quiz to the clipboard and pasting it into a different Canvas quiz

or

2) merging two (or more) Canvas quizzes into a single Canvas quiz.

Hello, @ancayanj, and happy Friday!

I hope you're having a great day. I wanted to share some exciting news regarding functionalities in New Quizzes that can greatly enhance your experience. You can seamlessly access both of these features by harnessing the power of Item Banks. If you've crafted content within a quiz, you hold the key to integrating it into an item bank, thereby enabling effortless integration into other quizzes. This guide, accessible through the link provided, will expertly walk you through the process of incorporating content into an item bank within New Quizzes. This tool essentially empowers you to replicate a single question for inclusion in a quiz, or even construct a comprehensive item bank by selecting questions from a variety of quizzes. This approach can help you achieve the desirable outcome of merging content.

To aid your journey, I've curated some valuable resources below to swiftly enhance your proficiency with item banks. If you encounter any questions or challenges during this process, please don't hesitate to reach out. We're here to provide the support you need.

Furthermore, I'd like to highlight our Panda Pros service, a valuable offering from Instructure.

This service can be particularly advantageous for addressing New Quizzes-related queries like the one at hand. Alternatively, you're welcome to participate in our interactive "Dear Panda Pros" sessions, lasting 60 minutes, structured in a webinar style. These sessions delve into prevalent challenges faced by educators, offering real-time advice and solutions.

Have a fantastic day and a wonderful weekend ahead!

Hi @ancayanj ...

In addition to the information that you received from @adunn3, I wanted to let you know that the Canvas Questions Forum space here in the Community is not the area to submit new feature ideas for consideration.  There is a separate area for that...which you can find here:

Canvas Ideas and Themes - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com)

You can click on the blue "View and Submit Ideas" button near the top of the screen, and then you can click on the blue "Submit an Idea" button to start creating your idea.  Or, just go here:

Canvas Ideas - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com)

Finally, you'll want to review the links under the section on "Ideas and Themes" on how you can create Ideas in the community...making sure that each idea is a separate submission.

I hope this extra bit of info will be helpful to you.

How do I access the clipboard?

Hi @ErikaMoore ...

In Canvas, there isn't really a "clipboard".  On a Windows PC, the clipboard is a kind-of "behind the scenes" thing that's used when copying/pasting content.  Check out this page that I found:
