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.
From the Inbox - I do not see a way to include an accessible link. For example - clicking on the word YouTube(which contains the link) versus https://www.youtube.com/

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.
