2. Precautions: Change grades for anything but Grade items in the Grader Report will result in the Assignment or Forum grading feature to be overridden, restricting future grade editing for that learner for that item to the gradebook. This is shown by the beige or tan coloring that fills the cell. Once a grade has been become overridden, grading will not be possible in the Assignment or Forum grading methods. To remove the grade override, navigate to Single View and uncheck the "overridden" checkbox.
