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.

We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
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…
