Step 1: Approve Existing Grades
Before importing new submissions, make sure to approve any assignments you've already graded
This prevents existing grades from being reset during the sync
Step 2: Delete Ungraded Submissions
Navigate to your assignment dashboard
Remove any pending submissions that weren't graded (these are typically empty placeholders for students who hadn't submitted yet)
Step 3: Sync New Submissions
Click the "Sync" button to import the new late submissions
Only new submissions will be imported, while your approved grades remain unchanged
Alternative Method: Syncing Individual Changes If you need to sync changes to an existing submission:
Open the submission in the feedback edit screen
Click the "Sync" button to pull in the latest version
Tips
Always approve grades before syncing new submissions
You can sync multiple times as new late work comes in
Previously approved grades won't be affected by syncing
