  • To make the prompt required for student submission, click the Make Student Required for Submission toggle. 
  • More information can be found by hovering over the green tooltip on the right.

Student Prompt Submission


Students will now see the assignment prompt when they are uploading their submission.


  • When students go to upload their submission, they will see the assignment prompt. 
  • Note: If the prompt was set to required when the assignment was created, students will not be able to complete submission until they have responded to the prompt. 
  • An assignment without a prompt will instead show ‘Comment’ as the prompt.

Viewing Student Prompt Responses


Teachers can view each student’s response to the assignment prompt when viewing the submission.


  • When viewing assignment submissions, the assignment prompt and response will appear in the top right corner of the Comment Bank
  • For longer prompts, the extra text will be hidden and can be revealed by hovering over the prompt title. 
  • Note: Individual prompts will be attached to their appropriate submission version.
