Marking Workflow lets you keep grades and feedback hidden until you are ready to release them to students. It is also useful if you want to show your progress in grading, or co-ordinate multiple markers/graders.
Marking Workflow must be enabled on the Assignment settings page for the Assignment activity before they can be used to grade.
