Why a student usually cannot see their feedback (reviewing and publishing are separate steps) and what to check.

Updated 15 July 2026

If a student says they can’t see their feedback, it’s almost always because the feedback hasn’t been **published** to them yet. Reviewing a student and publishing to them are two separate steps.

Check:

1.  **Has the student been reviewed?** They need a feedback comment (and a score, if the task is graded) filled in.
2.  **Have you published?** On the student list, the purple **Publish Feedback** button is what actually releases feedback to students.
3.  **Was this student held back?** If their feedback or score was left empty when you published, they’d have been skipped. Fill it in and publish again.

Your student list shows each student as _needs review_, _reviewed but not published_, or _published_. That tells you exactly where each student stands.
