# Releasing grades and feedback

Releasing grades and feedback to students (and sending them back to your LMS) is very straightforward:

1. Go to the **Assignment Settings**.
2. Navigate to the **General tab** and find the **Grades Published** setting.
3. Set this toggle to to *"Yes"* and press **Submit**.
4. All grades are now automatically sent back to Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle or Brightspace and feedback (including peer feedback and responses to student questions) is visible to students.

{% hint style="success" %}
While the assignment's grades are published, all grades and changes to grades are immediately sent back to Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle or Brightspace.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Publishing grades for an assignment that is not available yet may make the grades show up in your LMS' grade book.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Want to force refresh grades in your LMS?** First toggle back to *"No"* press Submit and then toggle back to *"Yes"* and Submit again. This should force a resync.
{% endhint %}
