An email you can adapt
The subject “Resubmission clarification for [assignment]” identifies the request. Replace each bracketed field with a checked detail and remove any sentence that does not describe your situation.
Subject: Resubmission clarification for [assignment] Hi [name], Thank you for the feedback on [assignment]. Could you clarify whether [specific comments] are guidance for future work or require a formal resubmission? If resubmission is required, please identify the permitted scope, deadline and official submission route. I do not want to replace the recorded work without authorization or overlook an action that is required. I will use the checked instruction rather than infer a process from the comments alone. Best, [sender]

What a useful reply should settle
The answer should identify whether another formal action is required and specify its authorized boundary.
Follow the confirmed route and retain the new acknowledgment if a resubmission is approved.
