# In Moodle

Follow the steps below to create a new CodeGrade assignment in Moodle:

1. In your Moodle course, press the "**+ Add an activity or resource**" button in the place you want to add your CodeGrade assignment.
2. From the window that now shows up, select "*CodeGrade*" and press "**Add**".
3. Now set the name for your assignment and edit additional settings.
4. Press "**Save**" again to save and display your new CodeGrade assignment.

{% hint style="success" %}
Grades are automatically sent back to Moodle after setting [the **assignment state** to **Done** in CodeGrade.](/faq/releasing-grades-and-feedback.md) While the assignment is in the **Done** state, all grades and changes to grades are immediately sent back to Moodle. Only after this is done, the CodeGrade assignment will show up in the grade book.
{% endhint %}

Now, go ahead and set up the General Settings:
