Do I have to publish an assignment to be able to insert the grades?

[ccjewell]

I want to insert the ALL the grades before allowing students to see their grades.  How do I do this without publishing the assignment.  If I publish it, doesn't it mean that the students can see it?

Hi  @ccjewell  Welcome to the Canvas Community!

I am guessing this is an assignment that is not submitted through Canvas, since cannot see or submit to an unpublished assignment.

Anyways, Publish the assignment, then it will show in the gradebook, but Mute it so that students cannot see their grades before you want them to. Learn more at https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-12961-4152724339 

I hope this helps,
