Submit again in Canvas
Do you want to be able to give students feedback on their Google Docs before the final deadline? When students submit an assignment through Canvas, you can view and comment on that assignment. If students then want to resubmit using your feedback, they just submit again. This is a great way to give informal feedback before a final due date. In the Speedgrader, just check for which submission you are viewing (assignments are cataloged by date).
