How to Transfer a Classic Quiz to New Quiz

Classic quizzes can be moved to a New Quiz format to take advantage of the new question types.

The only exception is that Question Groups will NOT transfer. If your Classic quiz has question groups, these will not be moved over into New Quizzes. If you do migrate a quiz with question groups, you will see errors in the migrated quiz.
