I am having an issue where students are downloading other students work directing from the canvas submission and then turning it in as their own. Is there a way to restrict a student from downloading a submission once it has submitted or even restricting access to it once it has been submitted other than closing the assignment?
@stucker4 Welcome to the Canvas Community! On the assumption that the assignment has been set up in accordance with How do I create an online assignment?, students cannot access, let alone download, any assignment submissions other than their own. So in order to help you, we'll need to know more: how are students uploading their assignments in your course?
