How to show resubmitted student work on my To Do List

I give students a grade of zero if they fail to complete a canvas assignment. But, I don't receive any notice when they finally submit their work. I need to know when they have submitted work so I can grade it. Previously the new assignment would show up as grading on my to do work.

However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point."

Better Submit Button UI to prevent accidental Submits Message
The current placement of the "Submit" button creates a "slip" in user behavior where habit-clicking "Next" leads to an accidental final submission. I think Canvas could easily fix this by: Moving the Submit button away from the navigation buttons (maybe above the question instead of below it) and/or Adding a "Confirm…
