Removing assignments from "missing"

[alex_voigt]

Is there a way to easily remove the "missing" label from assignments on Canvas that doesn't involve having to individually click on EVERY student's grade and unclick the "missing" option? It is extremely tedious to do that at the end of a semester and a super-annoying feature of Canvas compared to the Skyward gradebook that allowed you to enter an assignment and unselect missing en masse with students. Nobody's been able to give me a clear answer on this -- including our school's tech integrationist -- and none of the videos I've watched on it are helpful. I know students can swipe assignments off of their to-do list, but they still show up missing on assignment reports with Grade Guardian and I'd prefer not to waste multiple hours on something that menial, especially since I'm teaching multiple preps this year.

Hello @alex_voigt  - if I had this situation I might consider adding the desired / suggested due date to the end of the assignment name and omit the due date from that field. Doing so will help me avoid the system applying a status such as 'missing'.

How does this sound?

Best, Jeff
