idk how to delete a canvas submission as a student HELP ME ðŸ˜
Hi @PAYTONCHIRILA,
In general, students will not be able to delete submissions from Canvas. I believe there are a number of reasons for this, including having accurate submission records. The good news is that you can usually just make another submission, which would somewhat take precedence over the original (but your teacher will see both if they want). Sometimes teachers or the admin team for Canvas at your school/institution can delete an individual file from a submission if it's absolutely necessary, but you'd need to reach out to them at your school, as the global community of Instructure users which you posted to doesn't have any access to your Canvas account or anything like that.
Hope this helps!

It is completely ILLOGICAL and UNACCEPTABLE that Canvas still does not allow students or instructors to delete a submission even though people have been asking for it for YEARS. Having accurate submission records is one thing, but there are cases where a student does NOT want the instructor or anyone else to see the submission they made in error. This just happened yesterday: A student was supposed to upload a group assignment, which the entire group can see and gets graded on, but instead uploaded the group evaluation, which is supposed to be PRIVATE. Now the student is panicking because all her group members can see what she said about each group member and no one can delete it. Students make mistakes for different reasons: sometimes they are just careless but other times they are stressed, exhausted, and sleepy and they end up clicking on the wrong file, something that may be inappropriate and no one else should see. But we should not punish students for making such errors by keeping those submissions permanently for the student, instructor, and sometimes even other students to see. Canvas is causing DISTRESS for everyone for the sake of accurate submission records. PLEASE ALLOW STUDENTS AND INSTRUCTORS TO DELETE SUBMISSIONS!
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.
Can Canvas please create the option to use a "total points" system such that both the gradebook and the student grades page can show accumulated total points, not as a fraction of total points earned/total points possible? This would be SO helpful for progress tracking in a self-paced course where I do not want 0s entered…
