| Title | The assignment name. Click to download or open the submitted file. |
| Username | The student who submitted the assignment |

Previewing a Submitted File
Click View Assignment to open a preview of the submitted file. The preview shows:
- The file itself (images and PDFs display inline)
- A download link
- The assignment title and student name
- The comments thread
Approving an Assignment
Pending assignments show an Approve button in the Status column.
- Optionally enter a point value in the points field.
- Click Approve.
The status icon updates to a checkmark and the Approve button disappears. The student’s progress advances automatically if the lesson required assignment approval to be marked complete.
