How can I delete a column in the gradebook but NOT the assignment? I have to deploy the "assignment" from McGraw Hill Connect, but it's not to be graded. It's worth 0- points but automatically creates a column in the gradebook I don't want this.
Hi @LauraTywater ...
When an assignment is added to your course, a column is automatically added to your Gradebook. There is no way that I know of to hide and/or remove a column in the Gradebook yet keep it as an assignment on your "Assignments" index page. If the McGraw Hill assignment is worth 0 points, you could also mark the option "Do not count this assignment towards the final grade". Students have an indicator in their own Gradebook that the assignment would not be counted towards the final grade.
I know this isn't the answer you were hoping for, but I hope it helps in some way to answer your question.
Canvas staff, this function (being able to delete a 0-point assignment column from the gradebook, but not the assignment itself) would be really helpful. My students tell me that they often only look at the "syllabus" section of Canvas to determine what to do (despite me asking them to use the Modules view). So I need to "assign" readings, videos, etc. as 0—point assignments in order for them to realize they are supposed to do it. So each week I have multiple 0-point assignments. My gradebook is now a god-awful mess!
Please determine some way for 0-point assignments to not show up in gradebook but stay active in the course!
Hi @TuckP5199,
For a scenario like that, instead of doing 0-point assignments, you could change the "display grade as" dropdown to not graded". This will give you assignments that show up in the syllabus tool (and on student to-do lists), but will not be in the grades area at all.

Ooh you can use the drop down of complete/incomplete and worth zero points. Then you can use the check box to show completed but it doesn't "grade it." That's what I discovered today when working on this same problem. The checkbox makes it look finished in my gradebook, and it syncs to the veracross LMS.
Summary:The Learning Mastery Gradebook allows drag-and-drop reordering of outcome columns, and this triggers a call to /api/v1/courses/:course_id/assign_outcome_order. The API returns 204 No Content (success), but the column order does not persist after page refresh. Steps to Reproduce: Open Learning Mastery Gradebook for…
We have enabled the automatic migration of Classic to New Quizzes. When we import QTI files, though, they always fail to load as New Quizzes. If we disabled New Quiz Migration, it works. Why does it only work for Classic Quizzes? Are there any guaranteed tools that will generate QTI files that will import correctly as New…
Is it possible to change the system-wide notification defaults for a hosted Canvas instance? Since I can't find a way to do it, nor any reference to doing it, I'm assuming not but wanted to make sure before I give that as an answer.
Hi everyone, I had a teacher reach out with an odd (and concerning) LockDown Browser issue and wanted to see if others have experienced something similar. A student was taking a quiz using Respondus LockDown Browser on a Chromebook 300e Yoga G4 (8GB), a 2‑in‑1 device that can flip into tablet mode. During the active quiz,…
Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
