# How do I create a quiz by finding questions in a question bank?

You can create a quiz by finding questions from question banks.

You can add questions from [all of the question banks](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-create-a-question-bank-in-a-course/ta-p/1228) that you have built in other courses where you are the Instructor, question banks that have been added by your administrator to your sub-account, and question banks you have [bookmarked in other courses](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-bookmark-or-unbookmark-a-question-bank-in-a-course/ta-p/1231). If an outcome is aligned to a question bank, referencing the question bank in a quiz will also import the associated outcome to the course.

Canvas will reference the questions you choose as each student takes the quiz. These questions will stay in sequential order and stay in order each time the quiz is taken or previewed. If you want to randomize quiz questions, you can add them to a [question group](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-create-a-quiz-with-a-question-group-to-randomize-quiz/ta-p/1032).

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-when-you-find-questi"><div>- When you Find Questions in a question bank, changes made to questions in the question bank will not update in the quiz. Changes will update in the quiz only if the questions are [linked to a question bank](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-create-a-quiz-with-a-question-group-linked-to-a/ta-p/1033).
- When the Disable Classic Quiz Creation feature option is enabled, you cannot create new Classic Quizzes. However, existing Classic Quizzes can continue to be edited, imported, and migrated to New Quizzes.
