Hello,
I created a duplicate assignment with a different due date, students have submitted to both or just one. How to I consolidate?

Unfortunately, there isn't a way that I know of to tell Canvas to combine two or more assignments into just one assignment. Further, you cannot manually move assignment submissions from one assignment to another. You may need to tell your students exactly which assignment they should be submitting their work to...even if it means they have to re-submit to the correct one. Then, for the duplicate assignment, you could set it to not count towards the final grade.
Also, you might be happy to know that in a couple weeks, instructors will be able to submit assignments on behalf of students. So, if something like what you describe happens again, this might be another tool for you to use to ensure all the assignments are being submitted to the right space in your course. You can read more about this at: Canvas Release Notes (2023-03-18) - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com).
I hope this will help a bit. Sing out if you have any other questions about this...thanks!

We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." 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…
