I made an Assignment for 45 students. 2 of them had good excuses for not submitting. I edited the original Assignment to open it for just those 2 students for a few more days. Now I can't get to 41 submissions from the other students who submitted on time. Canvas recognizes there are 41 to be graded, but I can't open them, find them, or grade them. Can any super users out there help me, please?!
Solved! Go to Solution.
@robert_harker , I've got a pretty good idea of what happened. When you used the differentiate feature to allow the 2 students to submit late did you just replace the "everyone" in the "Assign to" with the two students? If so, then that's the problem. By taking the rest of the students off the due date/time you eliminated them from needing to do the assignment, which would also hide anything they'd done.
To fix this you'd need to go back to the assignment and in the "Assign" box, click the "+ Add" button and add another due date/time setting for the rest of the students in your class (the due date/time can be in the past - so the original due date/time to avoid confusion). As soon as you add the rest of your students back then all of their work will show back up again.
PS - I double checked and you can go ahead and add "Everyone" with the original due date/time and as long as you have the two students set with the extended time they will still be able to submit and the rest of the class will show the original due/date time - AND you'll be able to see everyone's submissions.

Hello,
I need help figuring out the solution to my similar problem. I changed the due date and assigned it to 4 students. The students' work that was already turned in is gone! I was able to regain all "lost" grades but I still don't have any of the work submitted.
Please help!
Thank you,

Bless you! I almost had a panic attack when I couldn't find a workaround to recoup my students' assignments!
@robert_harker , where you able to try my suggestion? Just checking to see if it worked for you or if we need to continue to trouble-shoot this!
@robert_harker , since we haven't heard from you in a while, we're hopeful that @kona 's answer solved the problem. Accordingly, we are going to mark this question with the "Assumed Answered" designation. Of course, if you need follow-up assistance on this problem, the discussion remains open for participation, so feel free to post a reply--and, if you've arrived at a solution on your own, please take a moment to share it.
Thank you for the solution. I had same problem and managed to resolve it. Much appreciated.
