Does this include if the grader has made a grading annotation but not yet clicked its check mark to save it? (We run into that annoyance complaint regularly.)

The language used in the new warnings does not align with the language of the Grade Posting Policies feature. The warning states that the submission comment has not yet been posted, but it actually has not been submitted. Posting is a subsequent step that happens automatically if default grade posting policies are in place, but teachers must manually post after submitting scores and comments when they have selected manual posting policies. I think this feature's language should be consistent with the posting policies language, and in the meantime I will highlight the distinction for the faculty I work with.

I was testing out this great addition, when you move using the arrows or using the hotkeys the message pops up, will this be expanded so that if another student is chosen from the course list (other than the next or previous student) teachers also see that draft message?
