Assignments Publish Feedback Flaw - D2L Applied Hotfix

D2L has applied a hotfix to resolve the issue where if you navigated away during updating feedback and grades in Assignments, your Published feedback reverted to Draft Saved status.


If you publish feedback and then go back in to modify the feedback or grade, make sure to click Publish or Update when done making the change for that submission. After, you should not get the unsaved changes prompt.


However, if you DON'T Publish/Update after making a change and get the prompt, and click Save, your feedback will revert to a draft state.


This is by design.


As best practice to avoid any confusion, we still recommend entering feedback for each submission and saving as draft, then using Publish Feedback for all submissions at once when you have completed evaluating submissions.

Assignments Publish Feedback Flaw- D2L is Working on a Solution

There is a flaw in how the “unsaved changes” function of the Assignments tool (Evaluate Submission) is working.


If you have published feedback and grades via the “Publish” option in the Evaluate Submission page, and were prompted to “Save/Don’t Save/Cancel” changes made to the page before navigating away, your feedback and grades may have been saved in Draft Status rather than Published.


Our recommendation is to continue to select “Save” when prompted. Then, on the Submissions view of the assignment submission folder, select the submission(s) that should be published and click “Publish Feedback”.


D2L is aware of this issue and we are waiting to hear back about the timeline for a resolution to this issue.
