On the Grading tab, when selecting add to all for a comment, after clicking save and close have a pop-up asking to confirm the change.
We use the add to all button to write a generic statement about the course that grading period. We then go back and edit each statement to add a student specific comment. At times, teachers have accidentally overridden their comments by going back to the add to all button. The pop-up would be a double check, reminding the teacher anything previously written would be overridden.

Hi Folks -
With today's release, we have implemented a new end of term grade entry experience for faculty. This update will not show to faculty until it has been enabled in Core > Settings > Activate new features.
Before enabling this new feature, please give the webinar, linked below, a watch. There's some important information about how the new experience calculates grades which may require a small update to your existing Grade Translations before enabling the new experience.

In this update, we have changed how the bulk comment features works. Now, faculty are able to selection which specific students will receive the bulk comment. In addition, we are now surfacing a comment icon in the student list so faculty know which students have already received some kind of a comment.
A couple other small enhancements with this update:
Comments now auto-save every 15-20 seconds.
Easily see previously recorded grades in the gird and narrative views.
A narrative mode has been introduced to facilitate long-form comment writing.
Mastery Skills can now be linked to Assessment skills.
If you have feedback on this new feature, feel free to reach out or schedule a meeting with me using the link below!
