How do I clear or delete an assignment submission for a student who needs to resubmit because there was an issue with their original submission?
The short answer is that you can't. As an instructor, you can't delete an assignment submission. Neither can the student. What goes in Canvas stays in Canvas.
You can change the number of submissions for that Assignment, and the student can resubmit it. (Note: if the Assignment is still "open," other students will be able to resubmit their work.)
Your Canvas administrator, though, may be able to remove the initial submission. (I'm not sure about this.)

We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
