If you want to grade student work over a period of time, we recommend that you save individual student grades and feedback as a Draft and then Publish those grades at one time when you finish. This way all students will see their grades and feedback at the same time.
You can save as Draft and Publish in all Brightspace assessment tools (Assignments, Discussions, and Quizzes) and Quick Eval. See Brightspace – Grading for more information about Quick Eval.
If grades are saved as Drafts, they do not appear in Grades; Quick Eval provides the evaluated/submitted snapshot.
Assignments
