Canvas Reassign Assignment: An Easy Way to Ask Students to Resubmit Work
Canvas has added a new tool in SpeedGrader to simplify your workflow. Imagine a student submits an assignment, but they dropped it in the wrong assignment or just grabbed the wrong document to upload. Previously, you’d message the student or leave a comment in SpeedGrader. The student would then need to see that note and remember to complete the request. Now Canvas has added a button in SpeedGrader that will add an assignment back to a student’s to-do list.
Before we get into the how of this feature, there are some limitations you need to know about.
- This feature is only available for some types of assignments. It’s not available for External Tool (LTI), on paper, or no submission assignment types.
- The assignment must have a due date in order to use this feature.
- This feature does not automatically extend the due date/close date for an assignment. If either of those need to be adjusted, you will need to do that manually.
Using the submission reassignment feature is simple. Navigate to SpeedGrader for an assignment. If your assignment meets the criteria above, you’ll see a greyed-out “Reassign Submission” button on the right panel below the feedback comment box. Enter a comment in the feedback box (we suggest something that includes instructions or context for what you want the student to do) and submit the comment. That will activate the “Reassign Assignment” button and send it back to the student’s to-do list.

How do I restore student submissions/grades if I unassigned an assignment?
When giving students an extension on a quiz or assignment, it’s possible for an instructor to unassign from the rest of the class. However, you can typically recover these students’ submissions by reassigning the grade item to everyone else. Please see the next section, How do I reassign an assignment to Everyone Else ? for more details.

New Canvas Features 3/20/21
As of 3/20/21:.
- Files linked in the Rich Content Editor can be previewed in an overlay or inline.
- In SpeedGrader, instructors can reassign an assignment to an individual student and ask them to redo their submission.
Files linked in Editor
This change allows users to control the display of the file preview. Previously all file previews opened in a new browser tab. Users who link a file can open the File Options menu and indicate a preview type.
- Preview in overlay displays the existing file preview functionality, where the file preview opens and overlays the entire page.
- If the option to expand the preview by default is also selected as an option, the file is automatically expanded in the page and the user does not need to click the file to view it. Instead, the user can close the preview by clicking the Minimize Preview link that displays along with the image.
