How do I only get notifications for a single assignment as an instructor?

I oversee a Canvas course that has a lot of different instructors. But they are each only in charge of one or two assignments. Is there a way that they can get notifications for only the assignments they need to assess and not all of the course notifications?

Thanks!

Unfortunately, the Canvas notification settings are not really that granular. Instructors can choose to get assignment notifications only for specific courses, but within a particular courses, the only option is to receive (or not receive) notifications about all submissions.

Issues with Discussion Checkpoints
This is my first time using the new discussion "checkpoints".
