How do export or transfer questions from various quizzes into an exam bank? I know how to edit each one individually to add to bank, but is there a way to copy all the questions from a quiz into a bank?
Welcome @jane_wines to the Community!
There is a Canvas Guides document with the steps for this:
How do I move multiple questions from one question bank to another?
Note that the steps on this page do not indicate that a new question bank can be created during the movement process:
Move questions into a new question bank
Just in case they are helpful, here are a couple of Canvas Guides documents with information on how to use questions in question banks in new quizzes:
Thank you so much for your reply. The trouble I am having is that the questions I want to move are in a 'quiz', not a 'bank'. Going through the steps you show doesn't work for me.

As I was creating a new quiz in one course (Classic), I went to add the questions from the Question Bank, but what I needed wasn't there. I went back to the other course to make sure everything was…
In the wake of the recent Canvas security incident, many instructors are rethinking how they protect their course materials and ensure continuity for students if the LMS becomes unavailable. A common question we’re hearing is how to effectively back up courses “just in case,” especially with an eye toward re‑distributing…
Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
