Why do auto-graded assignments no longer automatically sync to my LMS grade

The Current Situation

To ensure teachers have full control over grading, we recently updated how scores are processed. Many educators expressed a need to review student work and adjust scores before they became "official" in their Learning Management System (LMS) or visible to students.

As a result, auto-graded scores are no longer automatically pushed to your LMS gradebook.

How to Sync Scores Now

For the time being, teachers must manually trigger the sync. Once you are ready for students to see their results and for the LMS to reflect the grades:

• Navigate to the assignment in Savvas Realize.

• Click the Send Scores(x) button.

• This will immediately push the grades to both the student and your LMS gradebook.

A Better Solution is Coming

We heard your feedback that manual syncing can be an extra burden for assignments that don’t require a teacher's review. To solve this, we are developing a more flexible assignment-level control:

• New Assignment Options: Teachers will soon be able to configure settings for each assignment directly from the LMS course. This includes a new toggle to turn automatic grade syncing on or off.

• Automatic Syncing: When enabled, scores will be sent to the LMS the moment Savvas Realize auto-scores the work or as soon as you finish grading.

• Release Timeline: This new configuration feature is expected to be available in late Spring 2026.
