idk how to delete a canvas submission as a student HELP ME š
HiĀ @PAYTONCHIRILA,
In general, students will not be able to delete submissions from Canvas.Ā I believe there are a number of reasons for this, including having accurate submission records.Ā The good news is that you can usually just make another submission, which would somewhat take precedence over the original (but your teacher will see both if they want).Ā Sometimes teachers or the admin team for Canvas at your school/institution can delete an individual file from a submission if it's absolutely necessary, but you'd need to reach out to them at your school, as the global community of Instructure users which you posted to doesn't have any access to your Canvas account or anything like that.
Hope this helps!

It is completely ILLOGICAL and UNACCEPTABLE that Canvas still does not allow students or instructors to delete a submission even though people have been asking for it for YEARS. Having accurate submission records is one thing, but there are cases where a student does NOT want the instructor or anyone else to see the submission they made in error. This just happened yesterday: A student was supposed to upload a group assignment, which the entire group can see and gets graded on, but instead uploaded the group evaluation, which is supposed to be PRIVATE. Now the student is panicking because all her group members can see what she said about each group member and no one can delete it. Students make mistakes for different reasons: sometimes they are just careless but other times they are stressed, exhausted, and sleepy and they end up clicking on the wrong file, something that may be inappropriate and no one else should see. But we should not punish students for making such errors by keeping those submissions permanently for the student, instructor, and sometimes even other students to see. Canvas is causing DISTRESS for everyone for the sake of accurate submission records. PLEASE ALLOW STUDENTS AND INSTRUCTORS TO DELETE SUBMISSIONS!
A colleague asked me how to reuse the questions from the 14 quizzes he has already created as a large question pool to draw questions from for a cumulative exam. Each of the 14 quizzes has multiple question groups, and none of them was linked to a question bank at the time of creation. The best thing I could find is theā¦

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 asā¦
We have recently encountered an issue where two students were unable to see the "Take the Quiz" button. These students were taking different exams for different courses within our Testing Center.

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 assessmentāsuch as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluationāthere are important questions aboutā¦
