It is very annoying to create a quiz and then have to go through multiple clicks to assign it to students.
Thanks for sharing your feedback, @kthurston! While the option to assign a quiz is not located directly on the Build page, as @JeffCampbell noted, you can configure these settings on the Assignment Details page before entering the Build interface. For a step-by-step walkthrough, please refer to this guide: How do I create a quiz using New Quizzes? -El
@kthurston,
While this may not be possible right now, I am pretty sure it's on Instructure's radar. It was shared at InstructureCon 2025 that they hope to unify the new quiz creation and build areas again (like classic quizzes), but it's probably going to take a while to make that a reality. Just thought I'd add this to the conversation since it hadn't been mentioned yet.

@kthurston I see your concern for sure. It does seem that building questions in New Quizzes doesn’t let you set due dates the way you can from the main assignment edit page, where you can name or re‑name the assignment. I doubt this will change, but I appreciate and understand the product design critique. You may find more value in suggesting this directly to the New Quizzes product manager.
When you first start to create a quiz, both Classic and New, there is a spot near the bottom to assign what you create before you finish creating. For New quizzes, this occurs before you hit the button to Build, right above the section for setting Standard Alignment. If you start the process knowing when and whom to assign it, you can set it there. They won't see it until you publish anyway.
Yesterday, after much trial and error…I concluded the new quizzes matching choice options do not work as I expected, and have used with other LMS. I thought that I could provide students a matching choice quiz with multiple attempts that would report incorrectly answered matches on the first attempt, and display the…
I have seen documentation that says you must recopy your iCal link and resubscribe when you are enrolled in new classes, does this mean my iCal feed link changes each time, or do i just need to re-fetch the .ics file?
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…
