How do I tell the date that files have been uploaded?

I can download files that have been uploaded for a Canvas assignment but need to determine if they were uploaded by the requested date.

Hi @PeterMiller,

In SpeedGrader, the upper right-hand area should show a "Submitted:" date, which would be when the student hit the submit button on their submission.  It's possible that a student would have uploaded an individual file before the submit date/time, but in general those actions are likely to be seconds apart.  See the  How do I use SpeedGrader? - Instructure Community - 757  guide for more info about SpeedGrader if you are new to Canvas.

Hope this helps a bit!

@PeterMiller -

I believe the following will work and is a lot quicker than what my original thought was (which is what @chriscas suggested).

On the assignment.  Change the due date to the date the assignment was due and put an until date that is for lack of information - yesterdays date(that way students cannot submit).  I believe that all the entries in the gradebook where a submission occurred will turn blue for those that were submitted after the due date but before the until date.  I just checked this out in one of my courses and what I stated above is what happens(or at least for me)
