Sorting Assignments by Graded and Ungraded

Sort by Date: Arrange assessments from newest to oldest to help organize your workflow.
Visual Indicators: Use the circles within the Gradebook table to quickly identify which assessments or questions are graded or ungraded.

Use the search bar to filter by student or assessment names.
Troubleshooting: Disabled or Faded Grade Button
If the Grade button appears disabled or faded, it is likely due to the following reason:
The Grade button becomes active only after at least one student has submitted the assignment. If no submissions have been received for the assignment or class, the button will remain unclickable. Once a submission is made, the button will be enabled, allowing you to begin grading.
