Is there a way to edit the points an assignment is worth after it has been published and due date has passed?

I have a quiz that is supposed to be worth 50 points but after the students took it I realized it accidentally set to be worth 0 points. I cannot figure out on my own if there is a way to change it now. Is there?

Hi  @eeg174  , and  Welcome to the Canvas Community!

While there are some things you cannot change in an assignment once students have submitted - student groups and published status - you can most certainly change its point value. You will get a warning that you have to regrade the submissions, but you can still make the change.

• Go to the assignment,
• Click edit,
• Change the point value,
• Ignore the warning,
• Click Save.

I hope this is helpful,

Do you actually have to "regrade" then or will Canvas update accordingly?  I can't find a "regrade WHOLE quiz" option and I don't want to regrade each question....

I have this same problem but when I try and edit the assignment in Canvas there is no option to adjust total points. At the top of the page is says the assignment is worth 0 points while the grade sheet lists the assignment as 100pts (as I originally set it). I'm simply trying to revise the total points to account for a question I'm electing to drop.
