I noticed a new button “Hand In” appeared on every last page of my activities. Maybe it was there before, I am not sure 🙂 Does anybody know what it does? ---

I also want to know what this button is for! And if there is any computation layer documentation to go with it. I’m assuming it’s some sort of new button that allows Desmos activities to be used as an assessment tool of sorts, which I’ve been sort of doing with some computation layer workarounds. So if this button does what I want, then maybe I don’t have to worry about those workarounds anymore! ---

Hand In button puts a time stamp on the teacher dashboard showing when the student pushed that button ---

The teacher dashboard also gets a blue checkmark by the student name. I like it because students would always ask me how to turn it in when they got to the last page. ---

Does anyone know if there is CL associated with this button? 1. Can it be removed? Don’t want to go into too many details about why, but it’s confusing to some of my students and I’ve already had issues with it. _ **EDIT: I think I answered my own question. In CL for the slide I put “hideNextButton: true” and the “Done” button went away.** _ 2. Can it be deactivated under certain conditions using CL? Like the button will not show up until the students have completed a certain component correctly? _ **EDIT: I’m going to try a “when” statement with the “hideNextButton:” sink and see if that works…** _ 3. Can we change the wording on the button? Some activities say “hand in” and others say “done” but I’m not sure why the difference. The “hand in” is especially confusing based on how I have students actually hand in their work on Canvas. _ **EDIT: There is a sink for “nextNavigationLabel:” but I’ve tried different things and the button always still says “Done” unless I hide it.** _ ---

I placed a submit assignment button on the last slide, which locks their screen. Only after the press submit assignment, that the Done button appears. This will keep students from fixing answers after the fact ---
