During the marking column, you enter grade comments. When you enter a comment, you can select the comment status for the specific marking column grade. However, you do not have to set the comment status if you are not ready. Instead, you can set the comment status for the entire class for both empty and comments present. To set the comment status for a class, under Gradebook, click Manage comments, Set comment status. The Set comment status for [marking column] screen appears.
If you select Change status for all comments already present to, only grades with comments already entered will update the status to "Ready for Review" or "Not Ready." For Change status for all currently blank comments to, you can still choose to mark the comments as ready to review if you do not intend to enter a comment for the grade.
To change the comment statuses, make your selections and click Set. You return to your gradebook.
