Can students view old submission details?

All,

Maybe I'm missing something, but as I see it now, students cannot see details / feedback on older versions of an assignment submission.  Consider the following test case:

1) Test Student - submit assignment

2) Instructor - grade assignment

3) Test Student - can see grade and feedback.

4) Test Student - resubmit assignment - can no longer see the old submission (either on Assignment page or Grades)

5) Instructor - grade new submission

6) Test Student - can see grade and feedback on most recent only.

This seems odd.  Why can't the student see the older versions of their assignment?  It would make sense to me to allow the students to see the "progression" of their work.

Am I missing something?  I searched the boards but could not find anything...

msl_adm​, unfortunately, no, you are not missing anything.

For more information see the following archived feature idea - - with this response from Instructure "Thank you so much for the additional information each of you provided for Jason and his team.  They are working to prioritize this idea, however it is not possible within the next 6 months.  We will be archiving this idea, but don't forget to bookmark or follow it to receive updates."

Since  you can't vote on this feature right now, my recommendation is to comment on it and include why it is an important feature that is needed in Canvas.
