[ARCHIVED] Submitting assignment file on behalf of a student

A student has sent me a file through InBox, which is meant to be an assignment submission.

Is it possible for me to "submit" this assignment on behalf of the student, so that it can be with the rest of the submissions and I can mark it like the rest of the submissions?

Hello  @david_ellis1 ...

I don't believe that submitting on behalf of a student is currently possible in Canvas.  However, there is an existing Feature Idea that seems to align with what you are asking for: https://community.canvaslms.com/ideas/1124-submit-an-assignment-on-behalf-of-a-student" modifiedtitl....  If you feel that this feature is something that matches what you'd like to see in Canvas, I would suggest that you add your vote and consider posting a comment to it letting the Canvas engineers know why this would be important to you.

I know that this probably wasn't the answer you were hoping for, but I hope that it has helped to answer your question.
