A way to move questions from a Quiz to a Question Bank

.pages file type (Apple) to "assignments"?

A student submitted a file that is a .pages file type (Apple) to "assignments" but it doesn't show, as a .docx would. Won't download either, and I'm on a Mac. Correction: it downloads as a web file that only asks for me to log in to Canvas again.
