Is it possible to increase the speed of the grading site?

The grade sheet is running very slow.  Difficult to enter grades.  Is there a way to speed thins up?

 @crockwood , greetings! There are a number of things that might be going on here...

1. Are you using the new gradebook or old gradebook? If it's the old gradebook then that might be the issue. See more here - New Gradebook Resources 

2. Do you have a large number of students or assignments? If so (and especially if it's the old gradebook) then that might be the issue.

3. Canvas has been a little laggy for us the last couple of days as well. I attribute it to it being the beginning of the semester/term for many schools. Canvas isn't reporting anything for today, but you can check here - Instructure Status 

Overall I'd check back and if you're still having issues, then I'd contact Canvas Support to see if they can help. To do this, click on the Help link and "Report a Problem."

Hope this helps! Kona

Thanks for the reply.

I'm using the new gradebook. Super slow. Almost impossible to use. I do have a considerable amount of assignments. But not more than I had on the older grade book. I did notice that the new gradebook lists all the assignments that are unpublished on the grade book, while the old gradebook didn't list them until they were published. Could be part of the problem. I have tried to take them of the gradebook but with no success.

I tried calling Canvas help. They were not much help. They tried to blame my computer and sent me on a wild goose chase.

 @crockwood , well that's not fun... and what's up with your computer sending you on a wild goose chase?? 😉

If you'd like to hide your unpublished assignments - which I do as well - go to Grades, click on the View pull-down and uncheck the checkmark next to "Unpublished Assignments." This should take care of at least one of your issues. Otherwise, you might also try the "Filter" option (also under View). This will allow you to filter your assignments by Assignment Group, Module, and Section --> which might also speed things up.
