Due Date Change assignments marked late based on previous due date

Created an assignment and made it active for viewing by students. Had to change the due date to a later date (which was fine and worked as I anticipated) but when the day of the initial due date arrived students were marked as "Late" for the assignment. I have tried this several times and keep getting the same results, it's as if the Canvas Assignment doesn't recognize the updated due date. Any ideas??

Can you verify that you are changing the due date and not the available until date?

I'm sorry to question you, but it is just that I've never experienced this before and I change due dates a lot.

If you are changing the due date, I would recommend you ask your Canvas Administrator to submit a ticket to Instructure as this is a malfunction of the system.

It would be a…
Better Submit Button UI to prevent accidental Submits Message
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…
