When a student uploads a revised file for the same assignment, Canvas will append a -# to the file name. For example, if my student uploads index.html and then reuploads a modified version, Canvas will title the file index-2.html.

For one of my students, instead of adding a number, it appends a UUID. So, instead of index-2.html, it will be named something like index-6b245ad5-5911-4ff8-9099-ce082a3d9fc0.html.

Two questions that I have are:

1. What is causing my one student to have a UUID appended to their submissions? They are not doing it.
2. Is there a way to stop Canvas from appending the -# onto the end of resubmitted assignments?

Thanks,

Scott
