# Can a student resubmit Canvas assignments?
Depending on your assignment settings, students may have unlimited or limited assignment submission attempts. As an instructor, you can decide how to handle assignment resubmissions.
You do have the option to set [availability dates](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/What-is-the-difference-between-assignment-due-dates-and/ta-p/897) for each assignment. Availability dates can restrict the dates that an assignment can be submitted.
All assignment submissions can be viewed in SpeedGrader. Students will not be able to view their previous submissions after resubmitting unless you [reupload the assignments to Canvas](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-upload-all-student-submissions-for-an-assignment-in-the/ta-p/798).
**Note:** The option to resubmit an assignment may not be available for external tool assignments.
You can select the number of submission attempts allowed for all students. In the **Allowed Attempts** drop-down menu \[1\], you can select if students receive unlimited submissions \[2\] or limited submissions \[3\].
If you select the Limited attempts, you can select the **Number of Attempts** allowed \[4\].
## Set Assignment Availability Dates
If you want to keep students from resubmitting assignments after a certain date, you can change the Assignment availability dates. Next to the date you want to change, click the **Calendar** icon.
### Set Availability Date and Time
Click the **Save** button.
## Student View of Assignment Resubmission
If a student can resubmit an assignment, the **New Attempt** button displays in the assignment page \[1\].
If a student has used all their submission attempts, the New Attempt button will display as disabled \[2\].
## View Assignments in SpeedGrader
Open the student's Assignment in [SpeedGrader](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-get-to-SpeedGrader-from-an-assignment-quiz-or-graded/ta-p/759). When a student has submitted multiple submissions, you can view them by clicking the **Submission to view** drop-down menu.
### Select Submission
If you have already graded an assignment that a student has resubmitted, you have the option of using the same grade for the resubmission without doing any additional work. To apply the same grade to the new assignment, click the **Use this same grade for the resubmission** link.
