Locking prevents changes to grades. It disables the "quick grading" and "quick feedback" features of the [[Grader report]], and prevents modules from updating grades.

The locking effect cascades down to all the category's children. It does not affect the category in any other way the category can still be edited, only the grades held by its grade items cannot. If the category contains categories, the locking effect continues to cascade down, locking all categories, items and grades below the initial category.

A locked grade item doesn't accept changes to its settings or grades from its related module. When there is no related module (as for manual grades), the locking simply prevents grader report users from changing the grade using the grader report interface.

Locked after

Date after which the grades will be locked. Usually this date is set to the end of the activity, and the beginning of the grading process.. A typical sequence of events would be:

EventLockedHidden
Start of activity and participant submissions No Yes
End of activity and beginning of grading/feedback Yes Yes
End of grading/feedback, and release of grades Yes No

Effects of locking

Locking prevents changes to grades. It disables the "quick grading" and "quick feedback" features of the Grader report, and prevents modules from updating grades.

In grade categories

The locking effect cascades down to all the category's children. It does not affect the category in any other way the category can still be edited, only the grades held by its grade items cannot. If the category contains categories, the locking effect continues to cascade down, locking all categories, items and grades below the initial category.

In grade items

A locked grade item doesn't accept changes to its settings or grades from its related module. When there is no related module (as for manual grades), the locking simply prevents grader report users from changing the grade using the grader report interface.

In grades

If a grade item is locked, its grades are also locked, and cannot be unlocked until the grade item is also unlocked.
