What is Canvas New Quizzes?

Canvas New Quizzes was originally branded "Quizzes.Next" during development. Instructure has been gradually migrating institutions away from Classic Quizzes to New Quizzes, but the rollout has been slow — many courses still use Classic in 2026.

Notable differences from Classic: New Quizzes has Stimulus questions (one image / passage with multiple sub-questions), Categorization (drag items into buckets), and Hot Spot (click on a region of an image). Question banks are also handled differently. Tools designed for Classic Quizzes often need a separate New Quizzes adapter.
