Summary

hiding and posting grades in Canvas

Body

Sometimes you’ll want to hide grades while you're still grading — especially in large courses. Canvas lets you control visibility at both the assignment and course level.

To Temporarily Hide Grades:

  1. Go to Grades in your Canvas course.

  2. Hover over the assignment column, click the three-dot menu (⋮).

  3. Select Hide Grades.

  4. Choose to hide them immediately (for existing grades) and future grades if needed.

  5. Click Hide.

Students won’t see comments or rubric feedback while grades are hidden.

When You're Ready to Show Grades:

  1. Return to the three-dot menu (⋮) on that assignment column.

  2. Select Post Grades.

  3. You can post grades to everyone or only to students who have been graded.
