All Grades Disappear in an Assignment or Quiz After Using ‘Assign To’ – Canvas

In Canvas New Quizzes, if an instructor edits the “Assign To” field to give a specific student an extra attempt and removes “Everyone,” all other students’ grades disappear from the Gradebook. To restore the grades, the instructor must re-add “Everyone” in the “Assign To” field. Always use a separate “Assign To” entry for individual students without removing the general assignment group to avoid this issue.

Assignments/Quizzes Not Appearing in Gradebook (Canvas)
