Collab and Resubmissions

On Collab, to add, replace or delete an Attachment here after you have first submitted, you must do the following steps to work around a Collab bug:
  • Click on the Assignment.  (The bug is that you won't see a button to add or change attachments here.)
  • Don't try to add or change anything, but immediately click on Save Draft.  (Then OK on the next screen.)
  • Now, the Assignment is show as In Progress.  Click on the Assignment again.
  • Now you'll see the Add/Remove Attachments button.
  • You can will be on an "attachment pages", where you can attach additional files or remove attachments:
    • Do not attach a file with the same name as an existing attachment! You must delete the old one first.
    • Better yet, for CS2190, put the date as part of the file name, e.g. self-learning-04march.doc.  Then just add a new file. I prefer this.  It's also less work for you.
    • If two files are attached with the same name, when instructors download these they get one of them, not both, and not necessarily the most recent one.
  • Click Continue to close the "attachments page".
  • You're back at the Assignment page.  Go to the bottom and click Submit.
    • If you stop at Step 6, your assignment is not submitted!
