Starting in Fall 2019, the Canvas gradebook has a new look and additional features.

Check out the step-by-step documentation and how-to videos on the following pages:

Grade Posting Policy

Instructors can now easily control grade visibility (formerly known as muting assignments) by setting a course-wide grade posting policy for the gradebook or by setting posting policies on a per-assignment basis. The manual grade posting policy maintains the previous muting functionality and provides more flexibility for instructors to post grades for everyone, for graded assignments only, or by section.

Grade Detail Tray & SpeedGrader Access

The Grade Detail Tray allows instructors to view and enter grades, submission status, and comments for a given student. The Grade Detail Tray also provides access to SpeedGrader, which is no longer available in the assignment's drop-down menu in the gradebook.

Late & Missing Work

The updated gradebook allows instructors to set grading rules for late and missing submissions. These include automatic deductions or setting a default grade for past-due submissions.
