January 2023 – 3900.56 Release
This post provides a summary of the upcoming changes including those features which we have highlighted due to their impact. For more in depth technical detail additional details are available on the release page
Highlights for this release include:
See and edit marks for anonymous submissions prior to posting
In the past when anonymously marking, instructors could view mark on the Submissions page only after posting marks. This prevented instructors from editing grades before students could view marks.
Now instructors can view marks on the Submission page before they post marks. Student anonymity is still preserved until the marksare posted. To edit a mark, an instructor can open the attempt.

Discussions – No Activity After Due Date
Instructors may now lock a discussion after the due date has passed. When selected, students can’t create, reply to, or edit posts after the due date. Students with a due date accommodation can continue to create, reply to, and edit posts after the due date.
