So we'll be able to create surveys using the "New Quizzes."
I'm really looking forward to it. 😀

Same, @J_Kurosaki!

I know the lack of surveys was a big deterrent for some schools/institutions to fully explore New Quizzes. This should definitely help with adoption of New Quizzes, since it adds some more feature parity with Classic Quizzes.

My institution has been fully onboard with New Quizzes for over 6 months now, as we disabled Classic Quizzes at the end of April 2025. It'll be nice to let faculty know surveys are an option built into Canvas again, instead of directing them to use Qualtrics or Google Forms.
