Google classroom has a feature where you could unsubmit assignments. Its very useful for when you accidentally send the wrong file or want to make changes to what you submitted.

Evan Donovan Hi Populi,
I know that your team has said before that you chose not to provide this feature because you viewed the assignment submittal as like dropping a paper through a professors' mail slot.
However, I would strongly urge you to consider providing an option for schools to have "unsubmitting" assignments. It could be something that schools could choose to turn on or off, depending on their pedagogy.
For us, deleting student assignments that were submitted in the wrong format, or when the wrong file was uploaded, is probably one of the most common things that the student services staff have to do. So this would save us a lot of time.
There are just a lot of ways to get a file upload wrong that don't have analogues when you are talking about physical documents. The most common is for people to submit papers in a format that professors can't read, like Pages. It would be great if they could delete it and resubmit once they saw that it wasn't read by the Populi file preview.
