When you do, a pop-up should appear saying "Your zip file is being prepared". Stay on this page until this pop-up updates and tells you that "Your file is ready to download." then click on Download. Follow the onscreen prompts to finish downloading your folder.

NOTE: To make it easier to find this folder, create a folder with your course name and another folder with the activity name. Save this zipped folder in the activity folder.

When you open the Zipped folder, you will have a folder for each individual submission and an index.html. Clicking on index.html will open a webpage with an inventory/table of contents of what's in the folders. Clicking on the folders themselves will provide you with the student submissions.

Using index.html along with File Explorer should allow you to quickly find the materials you need.
