I have a student who submitted a document in the wrong assignment. How do I delete the document so that he may send the correct document for that particular assignment?#wrong document
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi, @melode_ortwein Welcome to the Canvas Community! Students can submit and resubmit to the same assignment multiple times before the "available until" date is reached, so it's not necessary to delete the wrong submission; the student will be able to complete that assignment correctly without additional action on your part. Instead, direct the student to submit to the correct assignment.
Similar question, but it was a faculty who submitted the wrong document in a professional development course, and it contains confidential information and NEEDS to be deleted.
