Use case: I have made a classic quiz for use in Course Name. I want to make a duplicate of that quiz, for use in the same course, that I can then modify for students who require modifications.

It is timed, allowing the students have 90 minutes. If the student starts taking the test before the 2pm time and the 90 minutes will take them beyond the Until time, it…
I've noticed that more and more often these little banner notifications appear when I do things in my course shells. Add a folder? "Folder created successfully." Delete an assignment?
