Group Submissions in Canvas

How do I submit to a group assignment on behalf of a group?

Students will choose one group member to submit to the assignment on behalf of their group, with Canvas applying this assignment submission to each group member. Once marks and feedback are released, they are provided to all group members. 

Any attachments added as part of a graded assignment submission are also copied to your group files Links to an external site. but are not counted against your user quota. However, once the file has been uploaded as a submission, you cannot delete the file. If you upload a file from your computer, the file is stored in the Group Submissions folder. However, please note that if you submit a file that was previously uploaded to your group files, the file is stored in your Submissions folder.
