### Limits and notes

* Using a library rubric makes a copy on the assignment. Saving edits in the library does not change assignments already using it, and editing the assignment's copy does not change the library.
* Editing a library rubric that has already been graded against saves a new version; the assignment keeps the version it graded with.
* There is no file import into the library. Rubrics get here by being built on an assignment, cloned, or created in the library's own editor.

## The three scopes

| Scope               | Holds                                                                                                  |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **My rubrics**      | Every rubric you've built on an assignment or saved here. **Pinned** keeps your weekly ones at the top |
| **From colleagues** | Rubrics teachers at your school have shared                                                            |
| **Platform**        | Curated by GradingPal, every one standards-aligned                                                     |

Search by name, and filter by **Framework**, **Subject**, **Format** and **Grade level**. Each card shows the subject, grades, criterion count, points, and any standards it's aligned to.

## What you can do with one

<Steps>
  <Step title="Preview">
    Select the card. The preview lists every criterion and level, and says where the rubric came from.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Use it">
    Select **Use rubric**. The New assignment dialog opens with the rubric ready to attach; a copy lands on the assignment you create.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Or make it yours">
    **Clone & edit** \[1] copies a colleague's or platform rubric into **My rubrics**, where **Edit** opens the editor. **Pin** keeps it at the top. **Share to school** puts one of yours under **From colleagues** for everyone at your school; **Stop sharing to school** takes it back.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Standards alignment

If some of your rubrics have no standards tagged, the library says so and offers **Suggest standards**. The AI proposes matching standards for each criterion; you accept or dismiss each one. If the class has standard sets chosen, the picker inside a new assignment can also draft a rubric from the standards you pick.

## How to tell it worked

**Use rubric** opens the New assignment dialog and the setup form shows the rubric's criteria. **Clone & edit** toasts **Added to My Library**.

## If something goes wrong

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Your library is empty">
    Rubrics you build on an assignment appear here on their own. Clone one from your school or the platform to start.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I edited a rubric and my assignment didn't change">
    By design. The assignment has its own copy. Edit it from the assignment's Assignment tab.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Delete removed it immediately">
    There is no confirmation on delete. Clone from a colleague's copy if one exists, or rebuild it.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>
