Multi-step assignment

Our students submit an assignment each week, receiving a grade each week; but all in the same category. Currently, we use separate dropboxes/columns for each week, which becomes "messy" on the grade book. Is there a way to create a single assignment that is multi-week and able to receive a separate grade for each week?

What do you mean by "messy"?

Have you considered assignment groups? That way students will still have a grade for each weekly assignment, but Canvas calculates an extra column with the average grade of those assignments.

See How do I add an assignment group in a course? - Instructure Community - 970 for instructions on how to make those.

There is at least one Canvas "idea" for doing a "multi step assignment" more formally, but that hasn't been implemented: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Ideas/Assignments-Assignment-in-multiple-parts/idi-p/589146

Among all the things that I wish Canvas had is that one! Is it something that is been worked on? We had it in Blackboard (legacy) and I sorely miss and need in Canvas (we just transitioned to it from Bb). Please add this very needed feature!
Dropped Scores
I have Canvas set to drop the lowest quiz score, however, my students can only barely tell that the grade text is slightly grey when dropped. Can it have a tag like the "missing" and "exempt" ones in the student gradebook?
Batch edit assignment due dates by section
My Canvas shell has three different sections that all meet at different times throughout the week. I need to be able to batch edit assignment due dates by section, but right now Canvas can't filter by section for batch edit. My only option is now to manually (tediously) edit due dates for each assignment individually.
Change Group Assignments to NOT save if no groups are selected
Morning! One of the more frustrating aspects of Canvas are groups and the issues that show up when copying courses that have them. But now we have yet another issue. Most recently we have had instances where people mark an assignment/discussion as a group assignment but then do not link the discussion or assignment to any…
