How do I manage gradebook statuses in an account?

As an admin, you can manage the colors of the standard gradebook statuses and create custom gradebook statuses for all accounts associated with your account.

Custom statuses are supported in Gradebook imports and SIS exports. Custom Final Grade Override statuses are supported in Gradebook exports.

When a missing label is manually applied, the missing label is removed by a new submission or manual removal. Entering a score does not remove a manually-applied missing label.
