The below 2-minute video identifies and shows three different workarounds you may use to get the Submit and Save Draft buttons to appear:

NOTE: If you have the table of contents at the bottom of your screen, you must bring it to the left side first before you are able to contract it. You can do this by taking the following steps:

 

First, click the arrow icon next to table of contents circled in this screenshot.
This will bring the Table of Contents to the left side of the assignment. Next, click the “|” icon.
