I assigned the FINAL to everyone, then when I went back and changed the submission dates, and I also added the 4 people that were the late submissions. Then everyone else's submissions disappeared...how do I get them back?
Hi @KristenWolters,
When editing a discussion, assignment, or quiz so that specific students get an extension, in the "Assign Access" area, make sure that you click on the "+ Assign To" button to create an additional entry. In that additional entry, you can then: (1) select the desired students and (2) enter the dates that you want (I typically leave the "Available from" blank). Attached are three screenshots.
You can restore the grades for everyone else by simply: (1) clicking on the "+ Assign To" button and (2) clicking on the dropdown menu underneath "Assign To" and (3) clicking on "Everyone else". If you want, you can restore the original dates (something to consider if you want to lock others out again and if you are using a late grading policy. I attached a fourth screenshot showing adding "Everyone else" back.
More information is available in the How do I assign a quiz to everyone, individual students, or sections? - Instructure Community - 714 support article.
Does that help you?

We have a school that is preparing for accreditation next year and they must get their quiz questions aligned to outcomes. We know they…
The most recent quizzes and question banks (including renames) are not showing up as options in the Course Import Tool. As I was creating a new quiz in one course (Classic), I went to add the questions from the Question Bank, but what I needed wasn't there. I went back to the other course to make sure everything was…
In the wake of the recent Canvas security incident, many instructors are rethinking how they protect their course materials and ensure continuity for students if the LMS becomes unavailable. A common question we’re hearing is how to effectively back up courses “just in case,” especially with an eye toward re‑distributing…
Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
