If I have an assignment that has a dropbox with an online submission, is there anyway to lock the dropbox and have the assignment stay open to be seen by students still??
Hello,
Yes, if the submission dates are closed then your students will not be able to continue to make submissions but they will still be able to see the assignment and their own submission.
I'm also including some information on the difference between availability dates and due dates for your reference.

In addition to the helpful information you've received from @kylieannpugh, I'd like to just briefly address the terminology of "Dropbox" for clarification purposes. Canvas does not have a "Dropbox" for assignments. Students just submit their work to assignments, but there's no further "Dropbox" terminology that's associated with that. Also, as you may already know, Dropbox.com is a completely different website for cloud storage of personal files, for example. Finally, when I was a Canvas administrator in higher education in Wisconsin, before we migrated to Canvas, we were using a LMS called Pearson eCollege's LearningStudio, and students had a "Dropbox" to submit work to their instructors.
Even though this didn't really help to address your question, I hope this little bit of information will be helpful to you.

How can I remove features like "add code" or "access google" so that students can only do the simple task of typing an essay? I am already using Securly to…
Hi everyone, It looks like the multiple rubric idea has bounced around a bit with the different feature request methodologies over the years, including a mention in New & Next 2024 according to this post, interviews in the enhanced rubrics features group, being listed as "under consideration" on the new roadmap, and this…
I recently had an exam provided as a Canvas Quiz in my class, and used some questions copied from question banks from other sections and prior years of the course. Some of those questions had "General Answer Comment" text already saved in them. I changed that text in several questions as I updated/changed the questions.…
I would like to suggest improvements to how collaborations function within Canvas LMS. Currently, collaborations are somewhat limited in how they can be accessed and integrated into course content. One potential improvement would be allowing collaborations to be directly linkable within Pages and Modules. This would make…
We are using the Learning Mastery Gradebook with an rubric on account-level. When we enter the gradebook, the sorting does not make any sense. How can we make the sorting so it makes sense to us. It feels like a randam sorting.
