In Course Progress, you can set up Canvas to automatically reduce late assignments a certain percentage for each day something is late down to a certain percentage. It's a wonderful feature. However, the late deduction does not come off of the overall grade. In other words, If I have it set to reduce 5% a day down to 65%, but I then score something as earning a 65%, Canvas will not reduce the grade below 65% regardless of the fact that it may be late on top of earning a poor grade. I wish there was a way to have the late deduction come off of the grade the instructor gives the assignment.

 @abba_locke ‌, what you've described sounds similar to the use case posited in https://community.canvaslms.com/ideas/15409-late-grade-maximum-deduction-not-minimum-grade , so please add your support to that idea—and while you're in the Ideas‌ forum, search for other late policy-related ideas that, if implemented, would improve your grading workflow.
