"Submission settings" define how students should make submissions. This includes enabling the requirement to "click the submit button" and requiring students to "accept the submission statement". The number of assignment attempts can also be adjusted.

The "Group submission settings" adjusts the requirements for group assignments (if applicable).

"Notification" settings include the ability to notify academics about submissions made by students. Assignments can also display which markers have been assigned to the student, should the assignment require so.

The "Grade" section includes everything Gradebook-related. Here academics can set a maximum grade, set a grade to pass, and enable anonymous marking.
