There are several scenarios where you might need to edit a Dropbox that already exists in your course. For example, if you need to change the due date, set up special access for a student with accommodations, or enable Turnitin on a Dropbox. This tutorial reviews each of the Dropbox settings you can adjust.
IMPORTANT: Once students submit work to a Dropbox, some settings become locked for editing and can no longer be adjusted.
Step-by-Step:
- Navigate to Submissions from the Navbar
- Select Dropboxes
- Locate the Dropbox you wish to edit, click the down arrow next to its title, and then select edit folder
