# Submitting your work and drafts

Upload a file or write in the editor, ask for feedback on drafts before the deadline, then submit.

{% hint style="info" %}
Draft feedback is never graded. Only the version you submit is.
{% endhint %}

## Before you start

* You have read the description and the rubric. They are what your work is graded against.
* You know whether your instructor allows drafts. The assignment says how many rounds you have.

## Steps

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Read the brief and rubric

Open the assignment from Coursework. The description says what to submit; the rubric says how it is graded.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Write or upload

Upload a file, or write in the editor. Work written in the editor keeps a record of how it was written, which you can see too.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Ask for draft feedback

If drafts are on, submit a draft to get feedback before the deadline, up to the number of rounds your instructor set. Each draft keeps its own feedback.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Revise and submit

Upload a new draft as you revise. When you are ready, click Submit. Your final submission is what your instructor grades.

## Troubleshooting

<details>

<summary>I cannot request more draft feedback.</summary>

You have used all your rounds for this assignment. Your page says how many remain.

</details>

<details>

<summary>My file will not upload.</summary>

Check it opens on your computer and is not password-protected, then try again.

</details>

## FAQ

<details>

<summary>Does draft feedback count toward my grade?</summary>

No. It is unscored and exists so you can revise.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Can my instructor see my drafts?</summary>

Yes, along with the feedback on them.
