The Instructure Community will enter a read-only state on November 22, 2025 as we prepare to migrate to our new Community platform in early December. Read our blog post for more info about this change.
I cannot find the submit assignment buttons on either of my courses. One course says it's a blue SUBMIT button at the top of the page and the other course says it is a red SUMBIT button at the bottom of the page. I do not see either one.
Solved! Go to Solution.
@tm3077 Welcome to the Canvas Community! Typically a blue Submit Assignment button displays at the upper right of the screen as depicted in the Submit Assignment section of https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-9539-421241972 I can't explain why one of your courses directs you to look for a red button at the bottom; perhaps the instructor copied and pasted those instructions from a different system, or perhaps you're being directed to an external tool for that assignment.
It's also possible that some of your assignments don't require a submission, in which case there would be no Submit Assignment button displayed for those.
If you are still not able to locate the button to submit the assignment, please use the help resources provided in your school's help menu to get direct assistance from someone who can look at your account, your courses, and your device and browser.
Good luck!

@tm3077 , the first screenshot is cut off so I can't see the top right of the screen. However, it shows that it was due yesterday, It's possible that your instructor does not accept late submissions which might explain why the Submit Assignment button no longer displays. Please contact your instructor directly for guidance on that.
The second screenshot is of a discussion (you'll see a reply button at the bottom of the image) and is asking you to submit a discussion post so please follow the instructions in How do I reply to a discussion as a student? to participate in that one.
