Where is document upload for quiz instructions under New Quizzes?

[Canvas007]

I created a sample exam in New Quizzes and tried to upload a document as part of the instruction, but I was unable to find the document upload from the rich text editor field. 

Is the feature removed under New Quizzes?

To my knowledge, there is not a place to upload documents to portions of New Quizzes like you can do in Classic Quizzes.  I've found that even if you add images to questions in New Quizzes, those images don't get stored in the course "Files" area of the course.  I *think* this is because New Quizzes is a LTI compared to how the Classic Quizzes format is displayed.  I'm not sure if this is planned by Instructure, but you could follow their roadmap:

New Quizzes Hub - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com)

Hopefully this will help a bit...even if it's not the solution you were looking for.

I misread your question and only after I tried creating both quizzes did I figure out what you were asking.  I see for the question area in Classic quizzes, you can upload a document - which your picture clearly showed.  In new quizzes you are correct that the file upload feature is not present.  I tried the media upload, but it limits you to the various media extensions for upload - even if you make it so that you can select any file, it won't upload a word document.

I was going to suggest you upload the file for instructions into the files are of the course and create a link to it in the instructions.  However, that does not work as showing the instructions embedded.  

I can't help with this matter.  Maybe someone else will have a suggestion.

That seems a quick short-term solution.

The link to a file in your files area has to be done as an external link option(If I remember what I did).  You have to find the file in the files area, right click on it to get the url address and use that for your link value.
