Students cannot make changes to their work after submitting an Assignment, even if you return it to them. To let them revise or retry, you’ll need to either Reopen or Reset their Submission.

• Reopen: Keeps the student’s existing work so they can continue where they left off.
• Reset: Clears the student’s Submission completely, allowing them to start over.

In both cases, your annotations and comments will be retained.

How to Reopen or Reset a Student’s Work

You reopen or reset work from the Assignment Detail screen, using the 3-dot menu above the Submissions list.

1. Open the Assignment Detail screen for the Assignment (from your Classes page, click the Assignment’s name).
2. In the Submissions list, check the box next to each student whose work you want to reopen or reset. Use the box at the top of the list to select everyone.
3. Click the 3-dot menu in the top right of the Submissions list.
   
   
4. Choose Reopen/Reset Selected.

When you reopen an Assignment, all of the student’s previous responses remain intact so they can pick up where they left off. You can also choose to show students their missing or incorrect answers when you reopen the Assignment, which helps them identify what to fix before resubmitting.

How to Allow Students to Check Their Answers Without Submitting

If you want students to check their progress as they work, you can enable the Students can Check Answers option when creating an Assignment. This setting lets them receive immediate feedback on specific questions before submitting.

You’ll find this option on the final step of creating an Assignment.

Available Options

Once this setting is active, students will see a Check My Answers button while working on the Assignment. Clicking it provides instant feedback on incorrect responses.

A counter and navigation arrows in the upper right corner help them move between questions that still need attention.

When students correct a question, the feedback will disappear until they click Check My Answers again.
