Here is a guide on How do I use the icons and colors in the Grades page?
There are different icons on the Grades page. Depending on the type of assignment submission, grading rules, and comments, you will see different icons.
Submission Type Icons
The following icons represent different assignment submission types on your Grades page:
- Document Icon [1]: File upload submitted, not graded
