Assessments can be stressful for students. Some instructors require students to submit attachments as part of the assessment requirements. Students need reassurance that they have attached the correct file for the right assessment. Students also desire confirmation that their submission was successful.
Based on direct feedback from students, we added the new information to the existing submission receipts:
- Course name and ID
- Assessment name
- Submission size - only included for file-based assessments and tests with essay questions
- Auto submit indicator - this indicator is present only if the assessment is automatically submitted by Learn as part of a timed assessment or the Prevent Late Submission assessment setting
Students can view the additional submission receipt information in:
- The confirmation modal displayed upon a successful submission
- The text file students can download from the confirmation modal
- The automatic email confirmation

The additional information in submissions receipts is also helpful to instructors. Instructors can look up a submission for a given student in the gradebook. The auto submit indicator reminds instructors that an assessment was auto-submitted as part of a timed assessment or because of the Prevent Late Submission assessment option.
