The Instructure Community will enter a read-only state on November 22, 2025 as we prepare to migrate to our new Community platform in early December. Read our blog post for more info about this change.
One or our teachers is looking for ways to back up Canvas quizzes, assignments, and discussions.
Thank you,
David Ross
DavidRoss, the best way to "back up" a quiz in Canvas is to export it and save it - https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-13094-415263225 The advantage of this format is that it can be imported into any Canvas environment (even the free for teachers version of Canvas) and will import into a course and work as a quiz in Canvas.
Yet, if the teacher just wants a print back up of the quiz you could use the following - Print Canvas Quizzes UserScript. The disadvantage of this is that you can't put this back into Canvas and have it work. So it will download a copy, but this copy wouldn't be able to be imported back into Canvas.
Hope this helps! Kona
We have added Paperscorer, a Canvas add-on, which gives us the ability to print our Canvas quizzes for a variety of purposes. We use this option for students who require special accommodations and also as an offline backup. As a bonus, the accompanying bubble score sheet will automatically score and record results (if students are taking quiz offline).
