Resuming a "New Quizzes" Quiz

You can continue a "New Quizzes" quiz you have started if the quiz has not automatically been submitted due to a time limit. As you take your quiz, Canvas autosaves your quiz. If you navigate away from an unfinished timed quiz, the timer continues to run and auto- submits when time runs out.
