I'm on an iPad and the apps are not working correctly.
When using an iPad, it's best to download the iOS apps from the app store and use those rather than working in the browser. Docs, Sheets, Slides and Keep all have stand-alone apps that are free to download. If you download the app, then when you click on an attachment from your teacher, the assignment will open in the app.
Drawings does not have an app for iOS and does not work well in the browser. It's best to use Drawings on a desktop, laptop, or Chromebook. Apps frequently have different functionality than the web-based version.

I need to make a change to a Doc/Slides/Drawing/Sheets, but I can't edit my work.
If this was part of a Google assignment that you turned in, you'll need to go into Canvas and unsubmit the work. This will allow you to edit the file again.
