What is this error? I'm already an instructor. How can I fix this?(Note: I just started to use Quizzes 2. Please give me a guide.)
Hi @CallieAlreza ,
Thank you for posting on the Instructure Community!
This is quite interesting. When you took that screenshot, were you by chance in Student View or were you in your teacher view?
The error could be anything from the content within the quiz not loading correctly as it didn't sync or update correctly (for students), or up to even an outage with new quizzes, and that would be something you should reach out to Canvas Support about, which would affect both teachers and students.
I hope this helps point you in the right direction, always feel free to reach out with any additional questions or concerns!
I'll also provide links to some guides that may be able to help you:

We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
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…
