Reset a student's Survey attempt in D2L Brightspace

Overview

If a student leaves a survey without submitting their attempt, the student receives an "attempt in progress" status on the Surveys page. An instructor cannot submit a student's in-progress survey attempt like an instructor can with in-progress quiz attempts. However, instructors can reset (i.e. delete) in-progress survey attempts.
