- You can only edit or delete grading schemes that you have created for your course. Only users with admin permissions can edit or delete grading schemes created at the account level. If you do not have permission to manage an account grading scheme, the icons are grayed out.
- If you delete or archive a grading scheme that is enabled as the course grading scheme or added to an assignment, the grading scheme will still be retained unless another scheme is selected.
- You cannot edit a grading scheme if it has been used to grade student submissions.
- Editing the name and description of grading schemes currently in use does not allow edits to percentages or points in the grading scheme.
- A grading scheme established at the course level cannot be deleted, archived, or edited at the account level.
- A grading scheme created at the account level cannot be deleted, archived, or edited at the course level.
- If a grading scheme is used to grade a student in a course, you cannot delete the scheme from the course.
- A grading scheme in use can be archived and then restored to an active state.
- An archived grading scheme cannot be leveraged in the future by a course or assignment unless the scheme is restored.
- You cannot edit, archive, or delete the Default Canvas Grading Scheme.
- When copying or exporting a course, archived default grading schemes are not copied or exported.
