New Quizzes is Canvas’s latest testing option that’s still in development and currently offers a different set of features from Classic Quizzes. It is still highly recommended that instructors use Classic Quizzes unless a specific feature only available in New Quizzes is needed.

New Quizzes display as assignments in the Assignments page and can be duplicated. It also uses the Rich Content Editor to format and add content to certain quiz questions.
