converting item banks to question banks

Question

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:

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:
New Quiz FIB question

Re-imported as Classic Quiz:

Imported FIB question in 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.
