My question relates to pdfs that I uploaded into the assignment section (e.g., samples). I tested this as me, going back in edit mode, and then "as learner". Both ways, it pushed me straight to finding where I wanted to save the download. It does not do this for what the students submit. It goes to view first (with a…
