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.
Summary:The Learning Mastery Gradebook allows drag-and-drop reordering of outcome columns, and this triggers a call to /api/v1/courses/:course_id/assign_outcome_order. The API returns 204 No Content (success), but the column order does not persist after page refresh. Steps to Reproduce: Open Learning Mastery Gradebook for…
We have enabled the automatic migration of Classic to New Quizzes. When we import QTI files, though, they always fail to load as New Quizzes. If we disabled New Quiz Migration, it works. Why does it only work for Classic Quizzes? Are there any guaranteed tools that will generate QTI files that will import correctly as New…
Is it possible to change the system-wide notification defaults for a hosted Canvas instance? Since I can't find a way to do it, nor any reference to doing it, I'm assuming not but wanted to make sure before I give that as an answer.
Hi everyone, I had a teacher reach out with an odd (and concerning) LockDown Browser issue and wanted to see if others have experienced something similar. A student was taking a quiz using Respondus LockDown Browser on a Chromebook 300e Yoga G4 (8GB), a 2‑in‑1 device that can flip into tablet mode. During the active quiz,…
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…
