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?

Your Canvas administrator, though, may be able to remove the initial submission. (I'm not sure about this.)

It would be a…
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…
