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.
There is also an originality report (often used to detect plagiarism), which indicates the percentage of text matched by the originality tool. Their example image shows yellow and red. This is the closest I can find to what you're describing.

There's a lot of edtech that promises results and not much that shows its work. We're collecting questions for an Educast 3000 podcast episode on how to tell the difference, and we'd like yours. What are your questions about evidence-based edtech? Ask us anything: how to read a vendor's efficacy claims, what…
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
