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.
With the new SpeedGrader UI, we are seeing student names appear in the page title even when the “Hide student names” setting is enabled. When using Classic Quizzes, there is no option within the quiz settings to enable anonymous grading, so we rely on instructors using the hide student names setting in SpeedGrader to…
Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
The current placement of the "Submit" button creates a "slip" in user behavior where habit-clicking "Next" leads to an accidental final submission. I think Canvas could easily fix this by: Moving the Submit button away from the navigation buttons (maybe above the question instead of below it) and/or Adding a "Confirm…
This is my first time using the new discussion "checkpoints". I'm hoping the multiple due dates are effective, but using the "checkpoints" does seem to create other problems: They only allow for ONE "reply to topic". The way I use discussions in some of my classes is to allow for students to ask MULTIPLE questions per…
