I know I have seen the feature option to moderate an assignment, but I can't find it in Feature Options. Did it disappear or does something else need to be turned on at the account level?
Hi @govreacl
I'm not quite sure if you're looking for the moderate option for quizzes or for assignments. I think there is potential for confusion as Canvas uses the term "moderate" to mean two slightly different things depending on which tool you're using. Moderating a quiz means giving certain students extra time or attempts, as described in the link that @Chris_Hofer posted. Moderating an assignment means allowing several course teachers to grade the same submission and then choosing which of those grades to post to the student, as described here: How do I add a moderated assignment to be graded by multiple reviewers?
You asked if this is a feature option. It is, and if you don't see the option when creating an assignment then you might need to ask your local Canvas admin to turn it on at account level.
I found it on the the edit the assignment page. It's on the right-hand side.
This is no "Moderate" function for Assignments, only Quizzes.
Therefore, if you want to give an individual student an opportunity to resubmit an Assignment, you need to change the number of submissions for the entire class. If the Assignment due date has passed, you'll also need to reopen the Assignment for that one student with the +ADD function. (At least this prevents other students from resubmitting the Assignment after the availability date.)
Personally, I really wish that Canvas would let us give individual students an extra chance to resubmit Assignments (just as we can for Quizzes) without changing the number of submissions for the entire class.
First year using Canvas and I like it less every day.
For anyone looking for Moderate Quizzes function on Assignments, I submitted a Canvas Idea to see if we can get it added. I also requested to not use "moderate" on Assignments to mean something different than it means for Quizzes.

I was just trying to figure this out today with no luck. This definitely a needed feature. And I agree that the terminology for "Moderate" should be consistent.
How can I delete complete calendars for courses already past? As a teacher I am not able to look at or update the calendar for my next course, but if I change to the student view it shows the calendar just fine. I assume this is because CANVAS selects only the first 10 calendars to show, and I am sure I am beyond that…
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
I have a student that was in a tag called "ac" and recently moved him to a different tag, "AC." I did ensure the old tag was removed; however on a canvas PAGE he sees both pages the "ac" and "AC" Canvas Pages. I removed the assigned tags to the page and the one tag to the student thinking maybe if I remove and reassign…
