# 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.

Publishing grades for an assignment that is not available yet may make the grades show up in your LMS' grade book.

**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.
