The Instructure Community will enter a read-only state on November 22, 2025 as we prepare to migrate to our new Community platform in early December. Read our blog post for more info about this change.
As teachers, we can view each of our students' submissions (past and present) with our annotations and feedback. However, it appears to me that students are only allowed to see their most recent submission. That is, they seem to be unable to see their past submissions. Is that true? If not, please let me know how students can locate their previous submissions -- complete with teacher feedback.
If students are, in fact, unable to see their past submissions, please enable this feature! It is painful to give lots of feedback on an assignment, inform the student they forgot X, Y, or Z, and give them the chance to resubmit the assignment, only to discover that the original comments can no longer be seen by the student.
In that situation, when my students come to me to ask to see my feedback on the original submission, I have to go into SpeedGrader, find their assignment, open their past submissions, take screenshots of my feedback, and then email the screenshots to them. Sheesh! There has got to be a better way. If teachers can see past submissions, why can't students?
Solved! Go to Solution.
