When You Resubmit on Canvas?

Canvas always allows students to submit and resubmit assignments even after the due date. However, if students submit after the due date, assignments are marked late in SpeedGrader and the Gradebook. Students only see their last submission but instructors can view all submissions.

What happens when you resubmit an assignment?

Any resubmissions will overwrite the previously uploaded file. If resubmission by overwrite has been enabled or an instructor has deleted the student user's first submission, resubmitting a paper is handled in an identical manner as a first time submission to an assignment.

Can you Unsubmit something on canvas?

It's not possible for a student to remove a file they've submitted to an assignment. However, as long as the deadline for the assignment has not passed, you should be able to submit a second file.
