# Releasing Quiz Grades and Feedback

Push finished quiz grades and feedback to Canvas from the Manage Submissions page, the same way as for assignments.

Quiz grades and feedback reach students through Canvas. When attempts are graded, push them from the **Manage Submissions** page. It works the same way as pushing grades for an assignment.

{% hint style="info" %}
Auto-graded questions are never sent from TimelyGrader; Canvas already holds those scores. If you didn’t sync the rubric to Canvas, only each student’s overall final grade is passed back. See [Importing a Quiz](/canvas-support-articles/quizzes/import-quiz.md).

### Choose how you want to push back

Push Missing Entries and Update Existing Entries behave exactly the same behaviour as assignments.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Update Existing Entries overwrites any existing Canvas grades for this quiz for the selected students.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Wait for confirmation

Stay on the page until the push finishes. A confirmation appears when it’s done.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Depending on your Canvas settings, grades may become visible to students as soon as they arrive. Only push after grades and feedback have been reviewed.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## More detail

Pushing quiz grades works exactly like pushing assignment grades. See [Pushing Grades & Feedback Back to Canvas](/canvas-support-articles/assignments/push-grades-to-canvas.md).

## FAQ

<details>

<summary>A student sees feedback but no grade.</summary>

Check your Canvas grade release settings. Grades can arrive in Canvas but stay hidden until Canvas releases them.

</details>

<details>

<summary>I graded new attempts after pushing. How do I send them?</summary>

Push again and choose to push only grades for attempts that have no grade in Canvas yet.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Why did Canvas get only an overall grade?</summary>

The rubric wasn’t synced to Canvas. Without it, only the overall final grade is passed back for each student.
