Is it possible to archive "grades" in Canvas over a year keeping semesters separated?

[williamssh]

I am wondering if there is a way to archive "grades" in canvas so that I don't have to scroll through all of first semester assignments when working on second semester. When using Canvas for gen ed and 6+ different subjects it becomes a lot to work with.

The LMS administrator at your institution can create "Grading Periods" that will separate your gradebook based on the due dates of assignments. Not all institutions choose to use the Grading Period feature, but it is only something the Admin can enable.

When Grading Periods is turned on, then the Gradebook automatically filters based on the current grading period you are in (Semester 2, or Term 2, for example)

For you, once grading periods are enabled: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-use-grading-periods-in-a-course/ta-p/10...
