Retain submission list page position when returning from individual grading view

When grading assignments with multiple pages of student submissions, clicking into an individual student's submission and then navigating back returns the instructor to page 1 instead of the original page they were on.

Current behavior: Instructor is on page 5 of submissions →opens a student's submission → clicks back → lands on page 1.

Expected behavior: Instructor should return to page 5 (the same page they came from).

This significantly disrupts grading workflow, especially for large classes with many submissions. Please consider preserving pagination state when navigating between the submission list and individual grading views.

    Hi @Neethu.S.4230

    Thank you for contacting the Brightspace Community.

    I understand your concern about navigating between student submissions. Currently, when you return to a specific student’s submission, it does not take you back to the same page (2nd, 3rd, or 4th page) you were on before. Instead, the submission is reloaded and rendered again from the beginning. I have tested this behavior on our support site and can confirm that this is how the system is currently functioning.

    If you would like more options, I suggest submitting a PIE item or upvoting one that suits your use case.
