Who can use this?

  • Who: Teachers and co-teachers
  • Plans: All plans
  • Where: An assignment's Submissions tab, and the grading screen it opens

​
Limits and notes

  • Approving is not sharing. Approving moves a row to Ready to share and sends nothing to anyone.
  • A submission that has been shared can’t be changed or regraded.
  • Every score change asks for a reason. That’s deliberate: it’s your record of the judgment, not a report to anyone.
This page follows the screen for writing, presentations and art. Quizzes, exams, worksheets and problem sets grade per question on a different screen, and video and audio has a player. Pages for those screens are coming next.

Walk the class

1

Open the first submission

Open the assignment. In the bar at the top, select Review N grades. It opens the first submission that needs you. You can also open any one from the Submissions tab: filter by Needs action, then select Review on a row, or click the student’s name.
2

Read what the AI did

The student’s work is on the left. On the right, Rubric Scoring shows the total and one card per criterion: the chosen level on a coloured bar, the points, and AI analysis with the reasoning and an Evidence list. Click an evidence card and the passage lights up in the work. Students never see the analysis or the evidence.Two flags need you. Needs your review means the AI didn’t guess because it couldn’t see what the criterion needs; select Grade it myself or Add context & regrade. For your attention is a note the AI left only for you.
3

Change what you disagree with

Click a different level on the bar, or click the points and type a number. The card asks Why are you changing this?: choose Too harsh, Too generous, Missed evidence, Misread the work or Rubric judgment, then select Confirm change. Revert puts the AI’s score back.On the Feedback tab, hover a section and use the pencil to Edit manually or Edit with AI. To comment on a passage, select the text in the work, choose Add Comment, write, and select Comment.
4

Approve and move on

Select Approve & next [2]. The pill at the top changes to Reviewed and the next student who needs review opens. Use the stepper [1] to move between students yourself; its dropdown lists the whole class with an amber dot on anyone still waiting.
5

Finish the class

After the last student, a toast says All submissions reviewed. Select the back arrow to return to the Submissions tab.

​
Approve without opening

On the Submissions tab, tick the rows you’ve already looked at and select Approve N in the bar that appears at the bottom. Or select Approve on a single Needs review row and confirm. Either way the grade is accepted exactly as the AI left it. To put one back, open it and choose Mark as needs review from the menu at the top right.

​
How to tell it worked

On the grading screen the pill reads Reviewed. On the Submissions tab the same row reads Ready to share, and the bar at the top reads N of M reviewed · ready to share with a Share with class button. Nothing has gone to students yet.

​
If something goes wrong

It moves to the next student who still needs review, not the next row. Students already approved, still grading, or failed are skipped. Use the stepper’s dropdown to open a specific student.
Open the submission, select the menu at the top right, then Mark as needs review. Nothing was sent.
The submission has been shared. Shared work is locked; the menu says Shared with the student — locked.
Points are hidden for this assignment, so the screen shows levels without numbers. Change it from the menu with Show points to student, or in the assignment’s grading rules.
