How do I delete an incorrect assignment submission?

Sometimes, an incorrect file has been submitted in an assignment. If the assignment is configured to require an explicit submission, the student will be unable to submit the correct file. 

Submission settings set to require student to click on submit button

In such cases, the incorrect submission needs to be reverted to draft to allow the student to modify or resubmit the correct file.

 

How to revert the submission to draft status:

  1. Browse to the assignment,
  2. Click on submissions on the course banner,

     
     
  3. Use the Filter by Name to filter submissions by First name and last name and click Apply,
      
    Click on Filter by name to filter submission by first/last name 
     
  4.  Click on the Action menu in the Status column for the student whose submission you wish to revert to draft, 

    Click on Action menu within Status column 
     
  5. Select Revert the submission to draft
     
Click on Revert the submission to draft form Action menu within Status column


The student's submission will be reverted to draft status, allowing the student to modify or delete their submission by accessing the assignment page.

Student can edit or delete submission once it's reverted to draft
