We’ve enhanced Flexible Grading and the Submissions page for group assessments to better handle changes in group memberships. These improvements ensure grading accuracy and reduce confusion when groups are modified after submissions: 

  • On the Submissions page, if all members are removed from a group:
    • The group avatar displays a ? icon.
    • A No members label appears.
    • The group name becomes non-selectable.
  • For active groups, the Flexible Grading interface always shows the current group members for each attempt.
