Hi,
I have a student that submitted an assignment into the wrong assignment. How do I remove it?
Best,
Tonya
Solved! Go to Solution.
@tdoty ,
You can just have the student re-submit the assignment. You cannot delete a student's submission. You may need to re-open the assignment just for that student:

Hi @tdoty ...
In addition to the information that you received from @Robbie_Grant earlier today, I wanted to share this Feature Idea link with you: https://community.canvaslms.com/ideas/1293-move-or-delete-incorrectly-submitted-assignments" modifie.... If you feel that this Feature Idea aligns with something you would like to see implemented in Canvas, I would encourage you to vote up on it...and maybe even add a comment letting Instructure engineers know why this would be important to you within Canvas. I hope this extra bit of information will be of help to you, Tonya.
