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.

We have enabled the automatic migration of Classic to New Quizzes. When we import QTI files, though, they always fail to load as New Quizzes. If we disabled New Quiz Migration, it works. Why does it only work for Classic Quizzes? Are there any guaranteed tools that will generate QTI files that will import correctly as New…
Is it possible to change the system-wide notification defaults for a hosted Canvas instance? Since I can't find a way to do it, nor any reference to doing it, I'm assuming not but wanted to make sure before I give that as an answer.
Hi everyone, I had a teacher reach out with an odd (and concerning) LockDown Browser issue and wanted to see if others have experienced something similar. A student was taking a quiz using Respondus LockDown Browser on a Chromebook 300e Yoga G4 (8GB), a 2‑in‑1 device that can flip into tablet mode. During the active quiz,…
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…
