What do the read-only columns in a Gradebook export mean?

Resolution

The CSV download from the Gradebook includes read-only columns for Current Score and Final Score, as well as additional columns for unposted grades. Here's what each column represents:

• Current Score: Reflects the total score excluding unsubmitted, ungraded, and unposted assignments.
• Final Score: Reflects the total score excluding only unposted assignments, while counting unsubmitted and ungraded assignments as zero.
• Unposted Current Score: Displays the current score specifically for assignments with hidden grades (unposted assignments).
• Unposted Final Score: Displays the final score specifically for assignments with hidden grades (unposted assignments).

For more details on these columns and how to export grades, refer to the Instructure Community guide: How do I export grades in the Gradebook?
