Step-by-step guide
To view and access student submissions for an assignment, click the existing Assignment from the main course page: 
- Click View all submissions to see the Submissions page, where all students and submission details are listed.
- Click Grade to jump directly into the assignment grading interface for the first individual student (whether or not the student has submitted the assignment). See below for more details.
Submissions Page
At the top of the Submissions page, use the Grading action dropdown menu to:
- Upload multiple feedback files in a zip
- View gradebook
Click Download all submissions at the upper right to download all student submissions in a zip file.
You can filter the submission list to show students with First name and/or Last name that begin with the letters selected. Select All for either name to remove the filter. Also, note that list is also sortable via the hyperlinked column headings on the Submission page; click on Last name to sort by last name, or Last modified to sort by the most recent submissions. Clicking the same heading again will invert the sort (for example A-Z becomes Z-A). If there's a column you don't wish to see, click the minus sign under that heading to hide it.
At the bottom of the page, you can also filter the list in the Options section based on submission status, which comes in handy:
CAUTION!
Applying the name filters before applying a filter from the Options section will display students who match both filters. Be sure to reset the name filters to All before setting the Options filter if you don't want to filter by name. The name filter controls are hidden when the Options filter is applied.
The submissions listing shows submission information for each student for the current assignment in the Firstname/Lastname, Status, Last Modified Submission, File Submissions, and Submission Comments columns. Notice there are selection boxes at the left where you can select multiple submissions (or click the box at the top to select All), then use the With selected... dropdown menu for additional actions:
- Lock submissions for this assignment (prevent changes and additional submissions)
- Unlock submissions for this assignment (allow changes and additional submissions)
- Download selected submissions
- Grant extension for this assignment
- Allow another attempt (Note: Only available if enabled on Assignment Settings)
- Send feedback files for this assignment
Make a selection, then click the Go button and follow any subsequent prompts.
If the Cut-off date has passed, Allow another attempt applied from here or at the bottom of the grading page will not work. Use Grant extension to extend the Due date.
Scroll to the bottom of the Submissions page to the Options section. Click the arrow to expand the section if it's collapsed.
- Set the number of Assignments per page to specify how many rows in the student listing are displayed at a time. Helpful in high enrollment courses.
- Click the dropdown to Filter the list of students by those who have Not submitted the assignment; who have Submitted; whose submissions Require grading; who have been Granted an extension; or No filter (i.e., all students). See CAUTION above.
- Enable Quick grading to assign grades and provide feedback directly while remaining on the Submissions page. Note: This option is not available for assignments that use Advanced Grading (Rubrics and Grading Guides).
- Check the box to Download submission in folders when downloading all (using the Download all submissions button at the top) or downloading selected (using the check boxes and With selection... dropdown below the list). Each student's submission will be downloaded into a separate folder, keeping structure for any subfolders and original filenames.
