> The teachers get a new course each year and then import all the content they need from last year's course.

I wonder whether taking a Course backup of the old course without user data and then Course restore it to a new course will make a difference.

Maybe, this discussion contain some information: Many duplicated questions in question bank.

The question refers to Many duplicated questions in question bank.

I think, you'll have a better chance in a thread of your own. Just ask the moderator to split the discussion. Simply visit the Report to moderator link in your post. In fact, it is the preferred way rather than duplicating posts.

There have been many reports of questions/categories growing exponentially.

- my own How to clean up a site with massively duplicated question categories?

 

- hijacked, also without resolution Re: How to clean up a site with massively duplicated question categories?

 

- and there are no scripted solutions known, How to remove empty question categories? [Moodle 4.1 LTS]

 

- Duplicating a quiz duplicates questions in a question bank

 

- Massive duplicated questions

 

and many more. There was a case with over 10 million questions, I can't find it.

 

Note that, I said, "_if_ we are talking of democratic decision making" because you came in and voted for question versioning. The OP voted against. But there is no such ballot, therefore irrelevant. And I'm not available to take an irrelevant path.

 

Edit: I am referring you your, "I have found the Question versioning feature has been hugely beneficial" above.
