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.
Yesterday, after much trial and error…I concluded the new quizzes matching choice options do not work as I expected, and have used with other LMS. I thought that I could provide students a matching choice quiz with multiple attempts that would report incorrectly answered matches on the first attempt, and display the…
I have seen documentation that says you must recopy your iCal link and resubscribe when you are enrolled in new classes, does this mean my iCal feed link changes each time, or do i just need to re-fetch the .ics file?
We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
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…
