I'm not happy with the functionality of the new quizzes in Canvas and would like to go back to using classic quizzes. I've unfortunately already created a number of item banks. I've found documentation for migrating question banks for classic quizzes to item banks for the new quizzes, but is there a way to go backwards?

Thank you @TaiMelcher for exploring New Quizzes and for sharing your experience. A New Quiz can be exported, and the export can then be imported into a Canvas course and converted to a Classic Quiz if the "import as New Quizzes" is not selected:
I did a test with a New Quiz with one FIB question and it works, but the question reference changed to a string of characters:
New Quiz:
Re-imported as Classic Quiz:
Note that from a student's perspective the question works; it's from our perspective that the string of characters appears. I did not explore other question types.
I’m going to mark my response as a solution, but there can be more than one. I hope our colleagues here in the Community can share other options.
