New Quizzes "Not-So-Cool" 🙄

lag time of import/migrate
"needs grading" doesn't appear in gradebook; auto-graded questions provide score (with missing amount for short-answer)
ESSAY questions default to ZERO grade until graded
Here's a discussion forum about this issue: Canvas Discussion Forum: score automatically graded zero for essay
Here's a workaround - categorize as manually-graded in gradebook: How to select a grade posting policy for an assignment in the gradebook
rich content editor not updated/not available in some areas
some question types do NOT have partial points*
*update: matching questions DO allow partial points; categorization questions do NOT (source: Partial Points for Matching Questions)
no survey/practice quiz option (can choose "do not count toward final grade")
Change...Change...Change 😖😫😤
