# How do I create a quiz with individual questions?

You can add your own questions to your quizzes. You can create various types of quiz questions. Individual questions can also be added to [question groups](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-create-a-quiz-with-a-question-group-to-randomize-quiz/ta-p/1032).

When a document is uploaded to the Rich Content Editor from a quiz, the file is saved to the Uploaded Media folder in Course Files and defaults to hidden status. Students can view the file when the quiz is made available to them. [Learn more about file visibility](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Publisher-Test-Nathan/How-do-I-restrict-files-and-folders/ta-p/644850).

**Note:** 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.
