How do I view the Unpublished Assignments column in the gradebook?

By default, you can view unpublished assignments in the Gradebook. This setting can be turned off at any time.

When unpublished assignments are visible in the Gradebook, unpublished assignments display with a gray background. Unpublished assignment columns do not include a dash indicating that grades cannot be entered. Additionally, assignment menu options are not available until the assignment is published.

Unpublished assignments are not visible to students.
