Why am I not able to have Canvas randomly select a question from a question group in New Quizzes? I have a New Quizzes Bank all set up with 4-5 question options for each question I want on my quiz so that not all students will get the same exact questions. Any one know a workaround for this? I thought that New Quizzes would have expanded on the capabilities of Classic Quizzes, but the more I do with it, the more I think New is NOT better.

Hello @ccullison , and welcome to the Community. This should help you making groups in New Quizzes.
How do I add all items or a random set from an item bank to an assessment in New Quizzes?
Let me get this straight. I have to import all my questions from the old quiz Question Banks into one quiz so that I can import to a new quiz and create a single Item Bank. But then, new quizzes don't allow question groups, so I cannot use those questions in individual sets anymore?

Thank you so much! I really don't like having to make a bank for every single question, but at least it works!!
I am also having an issue in classic quizzes...I have two questions in a group, and set it up this way so that students would not all have the same questions. Now, when I am giving the quiz, some kids have one, some have the other, but there is a cohort of kids that got NEITHER question...any suggestions?
