New submission options have been added for instructors to specify the type of submission they expect from students, giving them a choice from file upload or text entry.

When creating or editing an assignment, instructors can define the expected submission type to guide how students submit their work.Instructors can select one or more expected submission types when configuring an assignment:

• File upload
• Text entry

By default, File upload and Text entry are both selected.

The selected submission type is visible in assignment settings and student‑facing details. Instructors can change the selected submission type until students have started submitting attempts.

Students are informed of the expected submission type and see a submission workflow optimised for that format.

• File submissions display a dedicated file drop zone where students can upload, preview (when supported), and remove files.
• Text submissions provide a streamlined rich text editor experience without a general file attachment option and include access to the Content Market for supported tools.

With Flexible Grading  an instructor can now adjust attempt grades for individual students within a group submission. This update ensures that grades for group submissions can accurately reflect each student’s individual contribution, even when work is submitted as a single group attempt.

Instructors can override a group attempt score for individual group members directly from the grading interface. The interface clearly indicates when grades differ across group members, and adjustments can be removed by restoring a student’s grade to match the group attempt score.
