Teachers are encouraged to delete any unused, duplicated, or unnecessary assignments from their course(s) in Canvas. Deleting these assignments will improve course organization and loading time. Teachers should be aware of the following as it relates to removing assignments from a course: 

• Deleting a graded assignment also removes the assignment from the course gradebook. 
• Deleting an assignment deletes all student submissions. Students can still access their assignments from their user files if they were submitted as file uploads. However, any comments teachers may have made in student assignments are also deleted.
• When Multiple Grading Periods are enabled in a course, teachers cannot delete individual assignments for any student, group, or section in a closed grading period.
