Deleting student attempts in the gradebook

[beryl_r_gamiel]

I have a student who accidentally did a submission before she was finished. How do I, as an instructor, delete her attempt so she can finish and resubmit it?

Hi @michael_savoie ...

I don't know that I'll be able to provide the exact link to where it used to point.  You stumbled upon a link that was when the Community was running on another platform.  There were some links that didn't migrate to the platform the Community site runs on now, and you found one of those links.  I did try to search, but I didn't find anything prior to Summer 2020 when the Community migrated to the new platform.  However, I did find this link...which is more recent:

Maybe this will help you in some way.  Good luck!  Keep us posted...thanks!
