The exercises will be added to the assignment but they won't be duplicated in the exercises overview. You will be able to see the insights from each assignment the question bank exercises has been added to.

The exercises that are in the moved question bank assignment will now also show up in the exercises overview of this question bank. 

If your question bank assignment was generated based on a blueprint it is good to remember that this blueprint won't be moved along to the new question bank. You will be able to attach any of the blueprints available in the new question bank to the assignment through the assignment overview.
