You can submit online Assignments in Canvas using several submission types. Instructors can choose what kind of online submissions they want you to use. You may have the option to resubmit assignments if your instructor allows.
You can submit assignments from Google Drive, Dropbox, or another third-party service via your desktop computer in one of two ways:
Download the file to your computer and submit as a File Upload
Share the file, copy the file URL, and submit as a Website URL
You can also submit assignments using your Android or iOS device.
Note: Not all file types may be available for your assignment, depending on the assignment submission type set by your instructor.
In Course Navigation, click the Assignments link.
Note: You can also access your Assignments through the Syllabus, Gradebook, Calendar, or Modules.
When you click an Assignment title, you will see a screen with assignment instructions. You may also see a rubric to help guide your work.
You may see the following assignment details:
Due date
Total points
Submission types

Availability dates
Click the Submit Assignment link to submit your work.
Note: If you cannot see the Submit Assignment link, your instructor may not want you to submit your assignment online or the availability date has passed. View the description of the assignment for instructions, or contact your instructor for assistance.
Your instructor will decide what kinds of submissions are appropriate for each Assignment. There are four submission types: upload a file, submit a text entry, enter a website URL, or submit media.
Note: Not all file types may be available for your Assignment, depending on the assignment submission type set by your instructor.

If you choose, you may resubmit another version of your assignment using the Re-submit Assignment link [2]. You will only be able to view the details of your most recent submission in the Sidebar, but your instructor will be able to see all of your submissions.
Once the instructor has graded your submission, you will be notified via the channels that you specify in your Notification Preferences.
You can also see details about your assignment and links to additional feedback in the Gradebook.
