On the far right of some assignments that have been submitted, they show a color tab of blue and some show yellow. What does this mean?

The Canvas Student Guide has a lesson called How do I use the icons and colors in the Grades page? that explains what the colors mean. I don't see anything about color tabs -- maybe we just call them different things? There is a red missing and blue late badge, but they contain the words within the badge, so I don't think that's what you're talking about. It does mention custom statuses, though.

My class policy is that late assignments can be accepted at professor discretion, but they will have a 50% penalty. This is a gate you pass through once, and there are no further penalties.

Teachers often assume that because an assignment is a groupassignment, they will automatically grade it per group via SpeedGrader. With the option “Grade students individually”, they think they’re simply assigning the group grade to each individual student — without realizing that this option actually requires them to…
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.
