Hi, I took an auto-graded exam and my grade for it in the gradebook hasn't been posted yet so it originally wasn't showing, but I accidentally clicked on the what-if feature on the grade and the what-if grade text box automatically set to an actual grade. Is this a glitch or is it actually showing my real grade ?
I'm hoping this is a glitch for reasons you can infer. Im very sad
Thankyou

Oh, I see. I wonder if your browser was possibly saving some numbers in text fields? To resolve this, you might try clearing your browser history/cache. Follow the steps in the linked Guide, and then completely close your browser. Then, re-start your browser. See if the issue is still there or not.
Please let us know if this might resolve the issue for you.
Hi @booboo3 ...
The "What If" feature of your "Grades" page is not a glitch in Canvas. It's a tool for students so that they can see what scores they would need to get on assignments in order to get a passing grade. They are not your actual scores. Actual scores/grades are typically given by your instructor. You can read more about the "What If" feature of the Gradebook by visiting this Guide:
How do I approximate my assignment scores using the What-If Grades feature?
I hope this will help in some way. Sing out if you have any questions...thanks!
The possible glitch I was asking about was how when I clicked on it, the text box automatically filled to a specific score, not a score that I typed in myself
