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:
-
Go to Grades in your Canvas course.
-
Hover over the assignment column, click the three-dot menu (⋮).
-
Select Hide Grades.
-
Choose to hide them immediately (for existing grades) and future grades if needed.
-
Click Hide.
Students won’t see comments or rubric feedback while grades are hidden.
When You're Ready to Show Grades:
-
Return to the three-dot menu (⋮) on that assignment column.
-
Select Post Grades.
-
You can post grades to everyone or only to students who have been graded.
