You can upload files to both user and group files. Files can be used for assignments, discussion replies, and conversation attachments. Additionally, files in your user or group files can always be embedded in Canvas using the Rich Content Editor.

Learn how to locate your user files and group files.

Notes:

• For assignment submissions, you can upload a file from your computer or select a file that has been previously uploaded to your user files. If you select a previously uploaded file, you can delete the file after it has been submitted and free up extra storage in your user files.
• If your group file requires you to set a usage right, you must specify the file information before the file can be published. If your group does not require usage rights, group files are automatically published.

You can access an assignment in SpeedGrader directly from the Gradebook.

Note: SpeedGrader displays assignment submissions according to the current Gradebook settings for inactive enrollments and concluded enrollments.

You can resume a quiz you previously started.

Note: If you navigate away from an unfinished timed quiz, the timer will continue running and the quiz will autosubmit when time runs out.

Students can close discussions for comments if they meet the following conditions:

1. They are the creator of the discussion.
2. There are no replies to the discussion.
