I am working out a student assignment for my class's end-of-semester project. It's not published or inside its submission window at this point, so I can't use the student view feature. However, I want to go through the process of submission the way a student would, because I am writing step-by-step instructions for their project.
How can I test the submission process without using the student view function, which states I can't submit (because the assignment isn't published or live at this point to students)?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Erica,
How about just pointing students to the Canvas guide for students such as this one? https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-9539-421241972 Or you should be able to look through that guide and get the step by step instructions.

Thanks! Believe me I do, but if I made a brain fart kind of mistake creating an assignment, or if there is a random glitch that makes some student's submission not work even though they did everything correctly, I want to be able to figure that out. Also, when entering file formats acceptable for upload, I have to type them from scratch, and I can easily screw up a file extension in the acceptable submissions box. I want to check whether or not a google slides or a power point or whatever will actually be accepted based on what I typed there before I get the frantic e-mails from students who couldn't get it to work.
