Copy, Share, Export, Import - Expected behaviors of banks?

Hi there,

I've been testing out New Quizzes to see if it's closer to being something we can use in more courses, with the updated functionality for item bank conversion on 2/15, I was updating my notes on how Item Banks work.

I read the guides and I might be missing it but is there a guide on how Item Banks function?  I hate to recreate something that already exists and I must admit I'm getting a bit confused.  To give you an idea of what i'm hoping for.

  • Course copy - if you copy a course (with item banks) to a course that has a new instructor, what happens to banks? - The new course has "can view" privileges on the existing banks, the original author has "can edit" privileges.
  • Copy to - If you use "Copy to" on a New Quiz (with item banks), what happens to the banks? - The new course has "can view" privileges on the existing banks, so if a new instructor is added to the course they can view the banks, the original author has "can edit" privileges.
  • Send to - If you "Send to" on a New Quiz (with item banks), what happens to the banks?  - When imported into a new course, a copy of the banks is created, the new course has "Can edit" privileges on the copy of the banks, so if a new instructor is added they can edit, the original author has no access to the copy of the banks.
  • Export quiz using NQ export - ... import as QTI
  • Export entire course as .imscc - ... import course package, import selectively
  • Share to commons
  • Duplicate a new quiz

It seems like the permissions and whether the banks are copied or point to the same banks varies based on the actions so I'd love a guide.

Thanks for any help, I'm testing and generating my own but it would save time to have a reference.
