Please consider when we make a new quiz in canvas, allow that quiz to automatically become a quiz bank.  This feature was available in blackboard.  It would help us so much.  PLEASE CONSIDER THIS!!!

I do not understand why this feature is not there already. It should be.

This should already be an option.

Yes, please. This would be so helpful. This is something I could've used several times.

Yes, most definitely!!

Having the questions automatically logged into a bank labeled would be a big improvement over the current Unfiled situation.

Use case: I am creating a cumulative quiz and I want to reuse some questions from a previous quiz.

Workaround: Export old quiz.  Then re-import it: this makes it a quiz bank and available for Find Questions.

Solution: All quizzes should automatically be available as Question Banks, available for use in the "Find Questions" function.

I am exporting all my classic quizzes so that I can create new item banks for new quizzes. Can you please create a process where I can bulk import a large number of quizzes and have each quiz import a separate item bank?

I worry this will clutter the list of item banks if every quiz created in the system became it's own item bank. The goal of the item bank is to reuse questions between quizzes/courses/your account. Often the way we have made item banks is to move questions from a quiz into an item bank. I think having each quiz become it's own item bank would not be a good way to do question management.

Perhaps a different solution could be to have a button on a quiz which would (in one click) add all questions from an exisiting quiz to a new (or exisiting) item bank. Then if you need a new item bank for the quiz you just made, you can have it quickly, but you do not by default create a new item bank with each new quiz.
