Students want to resubmit assignments. Settings show the assignment uses external tool therefore resubmissions not available. What is external too, can I change this so that students can have unlimited submissions?
Hi @NicolaORourke ...
When you edit your assignment details, one of the options is "External Tool". This typically means a third-party integration is being used inside of Canvas. Some examples might be Turnitin, Kaltura, McGraw-Hill, etc. Under the "External Tool" option, there's usually a URL that is displayed, and that would give you an idea of what external tool is being used. Also, if you exit out of the editing screen for the assignment and return to what a student would see, you should see whatever external tool interface is being used for that assignment.
When I have an external tool selected, I can still change the number of attempts from "Unlimited" to "Limited". However, if you are using something like Turnitin, I *think** the interface for Turnitin has its own settings...including if resubmissions are allowed. So, the setting on Canvas may *not* be the same as what it might be in something like Turnitin.
I hope this helps a bit. Let folks in the Community know if you have any questions...thanks!

Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
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…
