Getting Back Lost Grades 


Canvas will set a quiz for "Everyone" in your course by default; if students have already taken the examination and you remove "Everyone" from the Assign to field, attempts and scores for those students will be removed from the quiz.

Therefore, if students have already taken the quiz, you should add individual students using the Add button instead of removing "Everyone" from the Assign field.

You can visit Changing the due date/time settings for an individual to learn how to assign a quiz to an individual student. 

There are two methods to get the grades back in the grade book for the rest of the students: via the "Assign To" button or within the assignment's "Details" page. Please select a method below and follow the steps to get the grades back in the grade book for the rest of the students.
