How to build a ChatGPT Canvas quiz from your own notes

Canvas is the side-by-side workspace in ChatGPT for editing writing and code, and many people draft study material there. If you want to test yourself on what you wrote, the most useful route is a ChatGPT Canvas quiz built from that same text, not a quiz you write from memory.

Save your Canvas draft as DOCX or plain text before uploading.
Choose multiple choice for recall, true/false for quick checks and short answer for deeper recall.
Read the explanation even for questions you got right.
Retake the quiz after a few days to see what you still remember.

Example ChatGPT Canvas study questions

What does ChatGPT Canvas open beside the chat?A separate editing pane for writing or code. It keeps the document visible while you ask for changes.

Which Canvas shortcut rewrites selected text to a different length?Adjust length. It changes the length of the selected text while aiming to keep the main points.

In Canvas for code, what does the Add logs shortcut do?It adds logging statements to the code. Developers use the output to trace what the program does step by step.

Can you go back to an earlier version of a Canvas document?Yes, Canvas keeps version history. That lets you compare edits and return to an earlier draft.

How does Canvas differ from a normal ChatGPT reply?Canvas gives you a persistent document you edit directly, while a normal reply is a chat message you scroll past. Editing in place avoids copying text back and forth.
