Assignments Each individual assignment column options include sorting by grade (low to high, high to low), missing status, and late status. Other features include Message Students Who, Curve Grades, Set Default Grade, Mute Assignment, and Download Submissions (if applicable). Clicking the name of the assignment will open the assignment details page. Each assignment defaults to the grade display set in the assignment. However, the Enter Grades as menu allows the assignment grade to be viewed by points or percentage. For Letter Grade or GPA assignments, the grade can also be displayed by grading scheme. Changing the Enter Grades display option is for grading convenience only and does not affect the actual grade.

Grades Management Grades and comments can be easily added to any assignment for any student using the grade detail tray, which can be accessed by clicking any cell in the Gradebook. The grade detail tray displays a grading summary by assignment and student. Like in SpeedGrader, an instructor can click the next and previous links at the top of the tray to advance to another student. The Gradebook also allows advancing directly to another assignment as well. Currently SpeedGrader can only be accessed for an assignment from the Gradebook through the grade detail tray. The grade and status for the assignment grade can be manually changed to late, missing, excused, or none. The late status includes the option to set the number of days that have passed since the assignment was due. This option is applied in the Late Policies feature. Late Policies will allow an instructor to create a grade deduction automatically applied based on the number of days the assignment is late. Comments can be entered via the grade detail tray.

Students Grades When New Gradebook is enabled, the student Grades page includes the status column. The status displayed in the Gradebook displays in the Grades page, which can include late and missing labels. Excused assignments also display in the Score column. Any online assignment that is automatically marked by Canvas as late or missing can be manually changed by the instructor in the Gradebook.
