How do I only get notifications for a single assignment as an instructor?

[SamGrimaldi]

I oversee a Canvas course that has a lot of different instructors. But they are each only in charge of one or two assignments. Is there a way that they can get notifications for only the assignments they need to assess and not all of the course notifications?

Thanks!

Hi @SamGrimaldi 

Unfortunately, the Canvas notification settings are not really that granular.  Instructors can choose to get assignment notifications only for specific courses, but within a particular courses, the only option is to receive (or not receive) notifications about all submissions.

Thank you for responding! Do you know if Canvas has a plan to implement this setting?

I have not heard about any such option, but @Chris_Hofer has a helpful post describing how new features are suggested and implemented in Canvas in the recent thread at https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Question-Forum/Canvas-Gradebook-Functions/td-p/628125
