Does Canvas auto-save a student's work? A few of my students reported that there work from the previous day that had not yet been submitted has disappeared. Is there a way to recover it?
Hi @HEATHERWEST-ROJ,
I found this unanswered question while doing a community cleanup.
As far as I know, the Canvas rich content editor has supported auto-save since 2020 (New Rich Content Editor: Auto Save (2020-03-21 Rel... - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com)). If it's a file upload submission and not a text editor one, I believe the answer would depend on whether your school/institution ahs enabled the assignment enhancements feature option. With the option enabled, uploads should save in a draft state until the students hit the submit button. If that feature is off, uploads would be lost if not submitted within a few minutes.
Hope this helps a bit!

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…
I tried the Quick Reassess feature today. Once I approved the questions and created the assessment it went to the tracker for Block 1. But I can't find the new assessment in my assessments to add to Blocks 2 & 4. If I have to recreate for each class, they won't have the same questions. I also cannot find the option to…
