Change assignment 'Draft (not submitted)' status
An example of 'Draft (not submitted)' status
Overview:
This guide will show you how to transform assignments uploaded by students in 'Draft (not submitted)' status into 'Submitted for grading' status after the due date.
What to know:
If the teacher selects ‘Require students to manually finalize submission’ in the Assignment settings, and a student forgets to click the Submit button after uploading work, the status of the assignment will appear as ‘Draft (not submitted)’ after the due date. The teacher can change the assignment status to ‘Submitted for grading’ before the Cut-off date.
- The ‘Draft (not submitted)’ status does not affect the grading function. The teacher can grade assignments as usual.
- Resubmitted documents will be considered as late submissions.
