To Do List has stopped working! Why?

[sjsiena]

I have been a Canvas user since 2013 and always found the "to do" list of things to grade helpful.  Now Canvas fails to remove items that have been graded. Sometimes Canvas is interpreting first time submissions as resubmissions, meaning that to resolve the "to do" list I need to go through and click "use same grade for resubmission."  This is time consuming and unnecessary!  At other times I cannot tell why the to-do list retains items that have been graded.

Is anyone else having this problem?  I don't want to live with this for another semester.

I cannot speak for what is happening on your end. Here are a few reasons I have seen for the To-Do list to not remove stuff after grading:

1. If even one student did not receive a grade, it will remain visible.

2. If a student submits while you are already in Speedgrader, it may not show up for you to grade, thus keeping the item on your To-Do List.

3. If sent back for resubmission.

I am not seeing any known issues with the To-Do list. If you have checked these, and there are no open assignments needing grading still left, then considering submitting a help ticket to alert Canvas techs that there may be an issue. You can do this by clicking on "Help" in the left hand menu on Canvas and selecting Report a Problem.
