​
After Submissions Are Graded

You can edit assignments after submissions have been graded. When you make grading-relevant changes, the system automatically handles regrading: For Writing & Multi-Media Assignments:
  • When you save changes to the rubric (criteria, levels, points) or assignment details (title, description, additional instructions) or feedback settings (style, length, leniency), existing grading data is automatically cleared
  • All affected submissions are automatically regraded with the new settings
  • Regrading happens in the background — you’ll see a notification when it starts
  • No manual regrading is needed
For Structured Assignments (Exams, Quizzes, Problem Sets, Worksheets):
Current Limitation: Editing assignment details and rubrics for Structured Assignments is not yet supported. Once a Structured Assignment is created, its details and rubric cannot be modified. This is a known limitation we are actively working to address. For now, if you need to make changes, you will need to create a new assignment.
Display-only changes (like reordering rubric levels) do not trigger regrading.

​
Saving Changes

  1. Make your edits
  2. Click Save Changes
  3. Changes take effect immediately
If you navigate away without saving, your changes will be lost.

​
Publishing Options

When editing, you can also adjust the publish status:
OptionDescription
Publish NowMake the assignment immediately visible to students
ScheduleSet a future publish date
Keep as DraftAssignment remains hidden from students
If the assignment is already published, you can still edit it, but changes are immediately visible to students.

​
Best Practices

Make all edits while the assignment is still a draft when possible.
If editing during the assignment wizard, make all your rubric, details, and feedback changes before clicking “Finish Setup” — regrading will happen once with all your final settings.
If you modify an assignment after students have started, let them know what changed.
Grade one or two submissions first to verify your rubric works as expected before grading the whole class.
After making changes that trigger regrading, wait for it to finish before making additional edits.
