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

- Filmstrip Icon [5]: Media recording submitted, not graded
- Quiz Icon [6]: Quiz submitted, not fully graded (contains questions that must be manually graded, or an auto-submitted quiz score has been deleted and needs to be reassigned); can also display if a quiz has been edited and includes major changes that affect the quiz score, such as deleting questions or deleting quiz answers, and requires a grader to manually resolve
- Text Icon [7]: Text entry submitted, not graded

Colors
When an assignment's details display in gray text, this assignment has been dropped as part of an assignment group calculation and does not factor into your total score.
