Force Submitting an assignment for Individual Student from the Gradebook
In the gradebook's assignment management options, a "Submit" option is available within the selected student's cell, allowing you to force submit the assignment.
A Submit Assessment warning modal will be displayed to confirm the force submission of assessment. Clicking the Save button will update the assignment status to Submitted.
Submit All and Un-Submit All Status from the Summary page
This option is also available in the Summary tab, where teachers can mark assignments as submitted or started either for all students or for individual students.
The Status dropdown at the header displays 2 options : Submit All, Un-Submit All.
- Submit All - Force submits the assignment submission process. To force submit, Assignment status of the student should be ‘Not Started’.
- Un-submit All - Reverts submissions to allow further editing for previously submitted work. Assignment status should either be ‘Submitted’ or ‘Graded’
Selecting Multiple Students
- Teachers can change the status of one or more students by using the Status dropdown menu in the header with the following options: Submit All , Un-Submit All and clicking the Apply button to save changes to the Status dropdown.
