Before I toggle accepting responses, help me make the window clear and reduce late submissions. Add a short notice at the top stating the open and close times, surface any upload size limits and acceptable file types, and flag whether reopening the form later will merge new responses or require manual reconciliation. Suggest one line to include in the syllabus for future clarity.

I closed the form but need to reopen for late submissions

I closed the submission form after the deadline and a student emailed asking for an emergency reopen for medical reasons. I'm worried reopening will let others submit late unfairly and that tracking will be messy. I don't know whether to reopen the whole form, accept a single emailed file, or create a new form for late submissions. What's the typical trade-off and the best immediate action that keeps fairness and record-keeping clean?

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
