How to recover my old submissions

Pandagal

Could you guide me through how to recover my old original submissions? I re-submitted 3 times. Each time I re-submit my new assignment, Canvas automatically delete my old submissions. I want to recover my original assigned submission with my instructor's comments and feedbacks. I contacted my instructor. She said she can still view all my submissions including my original post with her comments. I kindly asked my instructor to help send me back, She referred me here, so I think her answer is no. I would greatly appreciate if someone encounter the same issue.

Hi @Pandagal,

Unless your school/instructor is using the optional "Assignment Enhancements" feature (and it sounds like they are not), student's only have the ability to see their last submission for an assignment. This is different when compared to a quiz, test, or exam.

Based on that you have two options:

1. Go into the "Files" area of your Canvas user account, click on "Submissions", and then go into the folder for that specific course. You should be able to see all of your file uploads for every assignment in the course.
   1. How do I use Files? - Instructure Community - 617201
   2. Files Overview (Students) - Instructure Community - 383756
   3. How do I use Files? (Canvas Shorts)
2. Ask your instructor to go into "SpeedGrader" for the assignment, find the previous date and time that you submitted, and download the file. They could then email it to you.

I hope that you found this information helpful. Let us know if you need anything else.
