Grade change "paper trail"?

[emily]

If you update a grade in the "other" software and push it back to Canvas, is there any record of the change being made (i.e., "paper trail" - Jane Smith changed this grade from 9/10 to 10/10 on 4/25/16), or does it just update the grade? I know when you import via CSV, the grade simply changes, and there's no way to know that it was changed at some point, or by whom.

The answer is: Canvas keeps track of the grade changes (see How do I use grading history in the Gradebook?). There is not a lot of detail, but it does show who made the change and what the grades were before and after. The "person" who made the change might be listed as the external software, or its administrator. The example below shows a grade push from ExamSoft. (Fake data; I know in real life revised grades would probably not go down, but they did in this example.)

Also, this DOES work if grades are changed via CSV upload.
