If you would like to set a submission window, you can do that in the Availability section of the workshop settings.  

For more information, see Workshop Activity: The Setup Phase - Creating a Workshop [Faculty]. Make sure that all the settings are correct before moving to the Submission Phase.

In the Submission Phase, when students click on the name of the workshop, they will see the Workshop Planner with a list of the tasks they need to complete and reminders of submission due dates (if you have set a due date). During the Submission Phase, students are able to edit their submissions.

Allocate Submissions to Students
