Can we set up a quiz template that streamlines the settings we might want to use for all quizzes?

Kevin.P.3732

On a recent AMA with a Brightspace specialist, I learned that the possibility exists to set up a template for all quizzes that would automatically apply our preferred settings regarding Availability Dates and Conditions, Timing & Display, Attempts & Completion, and Evaluation & Feedback. However, I didn't get the chance to ask the "How do we do that" question. In searching through the database of helpful instructions, I haven't found an answer on how to set up a quiz template yet. It seems like we should be able to create a template for all our quizzes that would automatically apply our chosen settings rather than having to manually set them every time. Any advice on how to do that?
