What is the Retake Submissions feature?
Kognity now allows students to retake submissions on Content-Pages, including:
Activity Sheets (ATS)

When a student retakes a submission:

All previous answers remain saved
Teachers can view every attempt
Students can track their improvement
This supports mastery-based learning while maintaining full visibility for teachers.
