Students and Parents find the symbol for overdue work confusing. (In the Modules View) Shouldn't it go away once a grade is awarded regardless if it is overdue? Am I missing something?
Hello @abergh
I believe this is intended, especially when Module Requirements are used in a course.
However, It does seem a bit buggy to me...I played around with this for a little bit in my sandbox using an Assignment as an example.
If the assignment is a File upload submission, having the teacher enter the score and even changing the status won't remove the overdue Icon that the student and parent see on their end from the modules page.
One work around I found is to have the teacher submit on behalf of the student from the gradebook. This will remove the Overdue icon from appearing in the modules page. Another option is to have the instructor reassign the item to the student with a new due date and have them submit. if the instructor doesn't require a submission from the student, changing the submission type to On Paper or No Submission also fixes it.
My guess is: if the assignment hasn't been submitted/requires the student to submit, and the date has passed, the modules page tries to alert them to this?
Kinda weird, but thought I would share my findings!

Has anyone had a chance to try this with a Canvas quiz? Seems it may have a similar effect as ChatGPT Atlas able to provide all the answers to an open Quiz. https://www.theregister.com/2026/03/05/microsoft_adds_a_sidepane_for/
When you are creating a quiz and/or also reviewing a quiz in Canvas after the class has taken it, the questions aren't numbered so after you get past the first few questions, there is no way to even tell what number you are on. Can someone change that?
Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. 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." It would be a…
