How do I override the LATE message in the gradebook?
You will learn that with some external tools like VoiceThread, a student's submission may get marked in the Canvas gradebook as 'Late" even though the student submitted it on time.
This phenomenon may occur when you have an Assignment in your course with a Due date. Now, if you grade that assignment after the due date, the student submission will be marked late (based on the date you added the comments and grade rather than on the date the student actually completed or submitted the assignment). This is a known issue in Canvas.
