Manual Marking
Submissions are reviewed and marked manually by a course owner via the Inbox.
Manual reviews can be done from two places:
1. Inbox

Go to the specific bookings page.
Click on a specific booking to open the side sheet.
Extend the Lesson Progress section to find the Quiz Submission.
Click on the quiz to open a modal window where you can:
View or Download student uploaded files.
Mark as Pass or Fail directly from the modal.
This provides a fast way to manage individual learner progress.
Passing Score
