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.
We are looking to take better advantage of the portfolio offerings. Currently, it doesn't appear that evaluation portfolios are ready for multi-semester updating at the higher ed level. But with showcase portfolios, how are other instructors keeping track that students have completed the requirements? Just through visiting…
It would appear that there is a new interface for speedgrader and the rubric is now defaulted on, rather than having the tab with the option to use the rubric. I do not use the rubric unless I am deducting points. That means that I do not need rubrics very often. It looks like I can opt for "show old speedgrader UI" and…
Hello, I have some general, technical questions about Canvas quiz and activity logs and their interpretation. I am trying to better understand how these logs work from a technical perspective and what they are designed to capture. I am not asking about any specific case. Specifically, I am hoping to clarify: What types of…
Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
In the "How do I use the Learning Mastery Gradebook" page, under "Student scores" (https://community.instructure.com/en/kb/articles/660932-how-do-i-use-the-learning-mastery-gradebook-to-view-outcome-results-in-a-course#view-student-scores), the displayed gradebook shows a little colorful square and also points for each…
