[Student View] Test assignment submissions, for unpublished assignment and unpublished discussions

[tslee]

Problem statement:

If a teacher wants to test out an assignment submission, they should do this in 'Student View' am I correct? But currently, it seems the item must be published first (ie: visible and available to students!).

Proposed solution:

If so, the canvas documentation needs this clarification, that  'Student View', for test submissions only works with published assignments and discussions.

Follow-Up:

Teachers can already preview and test an unpublished Quiz (see  'Preview Quiz'). It would nice to have a similar "preview' or 'Test submission' mode for teachers for assignments and discussions too.
