How do I upload a student's assignment submission to a Canvas assignment when it was sent to me via email?
Hello @john_morris - in brief, there is a Submit for Student button within the Grades interface. This is a feature that your institution would need to have enabled. See here:

Ahh, it appears my institution has enabled this feature. I thought I'd seen it once upon a time, but it is gone now. Thanks!
Make sure you are a teacher on the course, admin access alone isn't enough.
Perhaps simply require the assignment be submitted in Canvas and don't accept email attachments. Better for logging audits that way, and for future assignments they'll need to learn the proper process. It's pretty straightforward. If it's a file size issue. then have them share a file link to wherever they have it saved on cloud storage like OneDrive.
Thanks @adam_c_voyton , that's my standard practice. And there are always exceptions. This was one of them.
I discovered the solution. Because I encounter that some students are challenged by the way Canvas displays tabs on assignments, I had configured the assignment with only the "Text Entry" online entry option. When I changed that to "File Uploads" the Submit for Student link appeared in the Gradebook and I was able to capture the emailed submission in the course site.

I have now had a few cases of students' responses in New Quizzes not being recorded. Normally, students get a connection error and can restart, but here they get new questions one at a time with no indication of a problem until they try to submit the exam and find that they can't submit it. Students are losing 20-90% of…
We assign coursework by section, and teachers enter the transfer grades on each assignment from before the student’s enrollment date. However, those grades do not satisfy the modules’ “Submit the assignment” requirements. Students still have to go back to the beginning of the school year and submit blank documents and…
A Discussion assignment needs to be able to have more than 2 due dates. A discussion is just that--a back and forth. To be an effective kind of assignment, Instructure needs to modify them so they can have 3 or more due dates. Students also need to be notified when someone posts within their group. Currently, students turn…
