How do I restore student submissions/grades if I unassigned an assignment?
When giving students an extension on a quiz or assignment, it’s possible for an instructor to unassign from the rest of the class. However, you can typically recover these students’ submissions by reassigning the grade item to everyone else. Please see the next section, How do I reassign an assignment to Everyone Else? for more details.
How do I reassign an assignment to Everyone Else?
When creating or editing an assignment, you can assign an assignment to individual students, and set different due and availability dates for individual students while it is assigned to the rest of the class. Only the student(s) specified in the assignment details can view the assignment.
