Migrating quizzes between Canvas courses using the Course Import tool enhances efficiency by allowing instructors to seamlessly transfer assessments, including Classic Quizzes, into New Quizzes while keeping question banks organized. This streamlined process enables educators to focus more on refining course content and enriching the student learning experience.
The New Quizzes Migration Enabled by Default feature in Canvas automatically selects the New Quizzes option during content import, facilitating the transition from Classic Quizzes, which are being phased out. This shift encourages faculty to utilize New Quizzes' advanced features for improved assessment experiences. The legacy import method allows for content migration with caution to avoid overwriting existing material.

Canvas New Quizzes offers two powerful settings to protect exam integrity. Detect Multiple Sessions (online) alerts students if they try to access a quiz from a different browser or device, discouraging login sharing and helping maintain fairness. Filter IP Addresses restricts quiz access to approved networks or devices—ideal for proctored or lab-based exams—reducing the risk of unauthorized participation. Both settings can be enabled from the quiz Settings menu when building or editing a quiz.
