Migrating a Classic Quiz to the New Quizzes Format

While previously created Classic Quizzes will stay intact, there is an option to convert your "Classic Quiz" over to the "New Quizzes" format. Note: There is no way to migrate a New Quiz back to the Classic Quiz format should you decide to delete the original Classic Quiz.

How to migrate your "Classic Quiz" to the new :

  1. Navigate to the quiz you would like to migrate
  2. Click on the "3 vertical dots menu"
  3. select Migrate

While the migration is in progress, a quiz with the same title begins to form, with a large blue "loading" icon circling beside it.

Once completed, a new version of the quiz will appear with the same title, but in the "New Quizzes" format.

The "rocket ship" icon outlined in black indicates a Classic Quiz, and the "rocket ship" icon colored in black indicates the New Quizzes format.
