Let's say a student submits an original submission for an assignment on time. I grade it and provide feedback. I allow the student to re-submit for an improved grade. However, that student submits his/her resubmission after the due date. Canvas Gradebook policy currently considers that re-submission to be "late." I find that to be an odd policy. The original submission was on time. I know I can edit the re-submission from "late" to "none" for that student in SpeedGrader, but I would suspect most teachers would agree that re-submission should have never been considered "late" in the first place. Obviously it would need to be a case-by-case judgement of the "worthiness" of the original on-time submission, but I think an option for teachers in Gradebook would be nice. I've looked at Gradebook Settings and there doesn't appear to be a place to have Canvas consider the original submission as the "submission of record" when it comes to on time and late submission consideration. Could this be considered as a Gradebook option for teachers in the future?

@Ron_Bowman Awesome. Thank you so much!

@Ron_Bowman Yes, it would be up to teachers to consider the "worthiness" of the original submission and that's why an option for teachers seems to make the most sense to me. If you toggled that option on, you'd know to be aware of this. What I find most of the time though, is the original submission is "worthy" but the student wanted to address my feedback and re-submits (a noble academic task), but is then "punished" by having a "late" assignment. While I know your counterexample exists, I believe it is the exception, and not the norm, based on my experience. Is there somewhere different to officially do a "feature request"? Thanks! 😃

Totally hear you and agree. It was a part of the deploy package yesterday. I'm hoping they remove that update. It's painful to have all those tabs open. I don't understand what was wrong with the way that it was.

Yeah! I found it by looking at the most recent comments on the post you linked. Thanks!

Thanks so much for responding! I see that Canvas has it proposed on the RoadMap for June 2021. That would be great. I have considered using a separate Word document to copy & paste from. I may have to do that until the feature is added. Thanks again!

I'm wondering if there is anyway to create a set of "canned comments" for assignments. I find myself typing out the same comments to many, many students for common issues or problems. It would be nice to have a list of comments I create for each assignment that I could pick from that would automatically populate in the comment box as needed.
