We have the assignment submissions set to one attempt. How do we do in and give only 1 student an additional attempt? I know in quizzes we can do this but not finding it in the assignments.
One option would be to duplicate the assignment and assign the duplicate only to the student in question.
A benefit of this would be that the student could easily see any feedback on the original submission and due date could obviously be different
A drawback would be managing the grade - you'd needed to remove the grade from the first (and check the 'treat ungradeds as zero' is not toggled on -though this affects just teacher view...) before grading the duplicate

Until then, hopefully one of the other suggested workflows will be accpetable.

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."
