You can also set varied due dates for a quiz and create due dates [6] according to course section. Varied due dates appear as multiple dates.
Note: Due dates are not required for a quiz.

In the Options drop-down menu, you can edit the quiz [2], open SpeedGrader [3], delete the quiz [4], migrate the quiz to New Quiz [5], send the quiz to another instructor [6], or copy the quiz to another course [7].

View SIS Quizzes
If your institution has enabled a student information system (SIS) integration, you can tell if a quiz is set up to be sent to your institution's SIS. Quizzes can be enabled directly by clicking the sync icon next to a quiz.
Note: Some institutions may limit quiz names and/or require quiz due dates. If you try to enable an quiz and you receive an error message, the error will show which requirement needs to be resolved before the quiz can be enabled to be synced to your SIS.
View MasteryPaths
If you use MasteryPaths in your course, you can tell which items are set up in Modules as MasteryPaths or conditional content items.
View Blueprint Course
If your course includes Blueprint icons, your course is associated with a blueprint course. Blueprint Courses are courses managed as a template and may contain locked objects managed by a Canvas admin, course designer, or other instructor.
The Course Details tab in Course Settings will tell you if your course is a blueprint course. Most commonly, your course will not be a blueprint course and you can only manage unlocked content in your course. If your course is a blueprint course, you can lock and sync course content to associated courses.
