I know I have seen the feature option to moderate an assignment, but I can't find it in Feature Options. Did it disappear or does something else need to be turned on at the account level?
Hi @govreacl
I'm not quite sure if you're looking for the moderate option for quizzes or for assignments. I think there is potential for confusion as Canvas uses the term "moderate" to mean two slightly different things depending on which tool you're using. Moderating a quiz means giving certain students extra time or attempts, as described in the link that @Chris_Hofer posted. Moderating an assignment means allowing several course teachers to grade the same submission and then choosing which of those grades to post to the student, as described here: How do I add a moderated assignment to be graded by multiple reviewers?
You asked if this is a feature option. It is, and if you don't see the option when creating an assignment then you might need to ask your local Canvas admin to turn it on at account level.
I found it on the the edit the assignment page. It's on the right-hand side.
This is no "Moderate" function for Assignments, only Quizzes.
Therefore, if you want to give an individual student an opportunity to resubmit an Assignment, you need to change the number of submissions for the entire class. If the Assignment due date has passed, you'll also need to reopen the Assignment for that one student with the +ADD function. (At least this prevents other students from resubmitting the Assignment after the availability date.)
Personally, I really wish that Canvas would let us give individual students an extra chance to resubmit Assignments (just as we can for Quizzes) without changing the number of submissions for the entire class.
First year using Canvas and I like it less every day.
For anyone looking for Moderate Quizzes function on Assignments, I submitted a Canvas Idea to see if we can get it added. I also requested to not use "moderate" on Assignments to mean something different than it means for Quizzes.

I was just trying to figure this out today with no luck. This definitely a needed feature. And I agree that the terminology for "Moderate" should be consistent.

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…
