I made my secretary a teacher in one of my Canvas classes. I had a brilliant idea that I could give her questions from a test I wrote in word, and she could put them into a quiz for me and then put those questions into separate question banks, based on how I plan to divide up the test into many quizzes. Then I could go in and make quizzes using the question banks.
However when I went to create the first quiz, it says I am not authorized to access the question banks or revise the questions. In fact, I can't even see the question banks. In an on-line Canvas community message from 2018 it says this is a flaw in New Quizzes that Canvas was planning to fix it, but it is now 2020 and it does not seem to have been fixed.

I was on the phone with Canvas, but was 23rd in line and gave up. I will email them.
Any suggestions?

Hello, @davida_j_alperi Welcome to the Canvas Community! In New Quizzes, item banks are associated with a user, so please ask your fellow instructor (secretary) to follow the instructions in https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-26503-how-do-i-share-an-item-bank-in-new-quizzes to give you access to the item banks she created.
