How do I edit or delete a gradebook item?
Edit a gradebook item to make changes to its original settings. For example, you can change whether an item's grades are released (available) to students, or assign an item to a category to include it in the course grade calculation.
Delete a gradebook item to permanently remove the item and all associated grades.
Note: Those in the Teaching Assistant role in course sites do not have permission to edit or delete gradebook items.
