I want to allow students to go back and retake an activity, but doing so seems to update their grade to their most recent attempt. Is it possible to "lock" or set a condition on a grade to something like taking their best attempt, or first attempt?
Hello, Thomas! What are you using for this activity? Is it a New Quiz? An assignment? Other?

The scroll bar for a document will stay visible until one attempts to interact with it, at which point the bar for the…
Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
After using Canvas for a while, I picked up a small habit that’s saved me some last-minute stress with written submissions. Even when drafts are original, longer explanations and summaries tend to reuse common phrasing, especially in research-heavy assignments. Before submitting, I usually do a quick cleanup pass to reduce…
