I was wondering how you delete a submitted assignment by a student. The student submitted the assignment in the wrong place and I am unable to delete this assignment.
Any answers????
Hi @JimKerns,
Generally Canvas is designed to keep almost all data around, which can be good for reporting and other things, but bad for a situation like this. The student can usually just resubmit a new attempt with the right work to fix up most things. If they submitted a doc with confidential info, your school's admin team may be able to delete the file from the original submission (but the submission record itself would remain).

Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
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…
