Locking Google Drive Documents when submitted by students

I don't know if this feature is possible but when a student submits a google drive document, students are still able to edit this document on their end. Is it possible to have the document locked until the teacher gives them access to it? I know this is a feature in Google Classroom but not sure if it is possible when submitting to Blackbaud.

    allowing students to continue editing the doc after a due encourages academic dishonesty. This needs to be implemented.

    no, I do not like this idea.

    Over 3 years, 110 votes, and no response from Blackbaud. At a minimum you need to be responding to trending ideas. Stop picking and choosing your ideas and listen to your community like you say you will. You have implemented ideas that have 2 votes, this is a major issue for all Google schools.

    Great idea so I am not grading a "live" document that can be changed

    Google Classroom has this feature, and it is very missed in our school. I am assuming this all works through their API as well, but needs to be configured.

    This is easy to do with Google Classroom - check it out!

    Please add the change that will eliminate the need for students to upload documents from their Google Drive in PDF format.

    I am pretty sure this will have more to do with Google than Whipple Hill. The only way I see this being accomplished, is that the students make the teacher owner of the document (presentation or sheet), and when the teacher goes to grade the assignment, they turn off the editing feature for the student (put in view only).

    This is an excellent idea and one that I would support from the Academic Director perspective.  One of the biggest concerns that the teachers in my school are sharing with me is that final summative assessment is not locked and subject to student change.  This is acceptable during the formative process but for a final grade, this needs to be addressed.
