There's no separate publish-then-sync. * Students need no GradingPal account. They turn in on Classroom. * Closing the assignment in GradingPal does not close it in Classroom. * A question-based assignment can't be posted until its questions and answer keys are approved. ## Post it In Instant's **Student submissions** or Guided's **Student work**, choose **Students submit in Google Classroom**. Set **When students can see it** to **Post now**, **Schedule** or **Don't post yet**, and the **Deadline**. With **Post now**, the assignment is created in Classroom as you finish. Otherwise the bar at the top reads **Not in Google Classroom yet** with a **Post to Google Classroom** button; select it when you're ready. What lands in Classroom: the title, the description with a link back to GradingPal, the due date, the points, and any handout materials with the sharing mode you chose: **Students can view file**, **Students can edit file** or **Make a copy for each student**. ## What students do They see the assignment in Classroom and turn in there. Each turn-in arrives on the assignment's Submissions tab on its own and starts grading. A student's page in GradingPal, if they have one, says **Turn in on Google Classroom** and points them there. ## When a turn-in didn't arrive Select **Import from Classroom** on the Submissions tab. It lists turned-in work that isn't in GradingPal yet and imports what you tick. Only turned-in work can be imported. A newer attempt replaces the copy here and regrades. ## Closing **Close for submissions** stops GradingPal collecting and grading. The confirmation says it plainly: the assignment stays open in Google Classroom, so students can still turn in there. Anything that arrives afterwards comes in with **Import from Classroom**. ## How to tell it worked The pill reads **Live** with a Classroom mark, and **Settings > Distribution** shows **Connected — syncing**. Rows appear as students turn in. ## If something goes wrong The toast gives the reason. Reconnect Google, then select **Post to Google Classroom** under **Settings > Distribution**. **Finish setting up the questions first.** A question-based assignment needs its answer keys approved. Select **Import from Classroom**. If it says the assignment hasn't been posted, post it first. ## Related tasks * [Where student work comes from](/teachers/collect/collection-modes) * [Open, schedule or close an assignment](/teachers/collect/open-schedule-close) * [Send grades back to Classroom](/teachers/google-classroom/send-grades-back) Opens GradingPal on the screen this page describes.
