Regrade a submission - GradingPal Help

A regrade runs the AI again on a submission from scratch. It’s the right tool when the assignment itself changed. It’s the wrong tool for fixing one score, and it costs you your own edits.

Four facts

A regrade replaces everything. The AI’s grades, the feedback, the comments, and any changes you made yourself are all replaced by a fresh run. The confirmation says so: “The current grades, feedback, and any edits you’ve made will be replaced by a fresh AI grading run.”
A regrade is free. A submission is charged against your monthly limit once, when it’s created. Grading it again doesn’t count.
Shared work can’t be regraded. Once a student has their feedback, the option is greyed out with the note Shared with the student — locked.
Editing the assignment offers a bulk regrade. Change the instructions, rubric, questions, grading rules or feedback settings after work has been graded, and GradingPal asks Save and re-grade N submissions? with two buttons: Save & re-grade and Keep editing.

The ways in

Where	What it says	What it regrades
The grading screen’s menu at the top right	Re-grade with AI	This submission
A row’s menu on the Submissions tab	Regrade submission	This submission
After fixing pages on the question-based grading screen	Re-grade this question?	That question only
The save dialog after editing the assignment	Save & re-grade	Everything already graded

What survives

Pages you assigned to a question-based submission stay assigned, so a page fix isn’t undone by a regrade. Your override on a criterion does not survive; see fact one.

What this does not mean

A regrade is not undo. It doesn’t restore an earlier grade. It produces a new one.
A regrade doesn’t notify anyone. Students see nothing until you share.
A regrade doesn’t change the assignment. To change the rubric or questions, edit the assignment; the regrade is offered afterwards.

When to do something else

Fix one score you disagree with	Change a score
Reword the feedback, or correct a misread answer	Ask GradingPal to make changes
Grade the right pages of a scan	Use Assign pages on the question-based screen, then regrade that submission
