# What students see

> Check exactly what a student gets before you send it, and what they never see.

export const updated_0 = "19 September 2026"

export const page_0 = "/teachers/share/what-students-see"

Before you share, you can look at any submission the way the student will. Looking changes nothing.

## Preview as a student

Select **Preview as student** in the bar at the top of the assignment, or in the menu at the top right of the grading screen. An amber bar across the top reads **Previewing** with the assignment name, and has **Previous student** and **Next student** to move through the class. **Exit preview** takes you back where you were.

Work you've graded but not shared shows a **Not shared yet** pill in preview. The student, at that point, sees only "Your work is being graded".

## What is included

| The student sees                                                                                                   | Where                                     |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------- |
| **Returned** pill, the title, the class                                                                            | At the top                                |
| The score \[1]: points, total and percentage                                                                       | The score block, unless points are hidden |
| Each rubric criterion with **Score:** and the level name, the level bar, and the points                            | Under **Rubric Scoring**                  |
| The feedback: overall, any sections, and the targeted comments as quotes with your comment                         | Under **Feedback**                        |
| Grammar findings you didn't dismiss, with the marks on the work                                                    | Under **Grammar**                         |
| For quizzes, each question with the answer given, the points, and **Feedback**, **Strengths** and **Improvements** | Per question                              |
| For video and audio, the timestamped comments on their player                                                      | Under **Feedback**                        |

## What is never included

* **Your AI analysis.** Not the reasoning, not the evidence quotes. The tooltip on every criterion card says so, and the data is stripped before the page is sent to the student.
* **Notes marked For your attention**, and the **Needs your review** flag. A criterion the AI declined to grade reads **Not graded** to the student until you grade it.
* **Your reasons for changing a score.** The student sees the score.
* **Dismissed grammar findings**, and any count of how many you dismissed.

## Hide points from students

With **Hide points from students** on, the score block disappears and the points vanish from every criterion. The student still sees the level they earned on each criterion, the level bar, and all the feedback. Nothing on their page explains that points are hidden; they see levels. The same switch exists per submission in the grading screen's menu, as **Hide points from student**.

## What the student's screen calls it

The student's own page says **Returned** for the state your table calls **Shared**. Before that it says **Being graded**, and the message under it reads "Your teacher hasn't shared feedback for this yet. You'll get an email as soon as it's ready."
