| 6 | +Submitty supports multiple submissions before the due date. Every |
| 7 | +submission by the student is stored permanently and tagged with a |
| 8 | +version number and timestamp. Automated grading runs on each |
| 9 | +submission, and we store all submissions. Teaching staff can review |
| 10 | +details of every submission and its autograding results. |
| 11 | +*See also:* [Student Interface for Managing Submission Version](/student/submission/managing_versions) |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +After the deadline, manual/TA grading |
| 14 | +opens, and the TA/instructor grades the currently selected submission version. |
| 15 | +When the grader marks / scores a rubric component, the currently selected submission version is stored in the database. |
| 16 | +If the student makes a new submission or changes their active version |
| 17 | +during manual grading or after manual grading has completed, |
| 18 | +this mismatch will cause confusion and conflicts. |

| 22 | +## Reverting a Student's Submission Version |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +From the "Student Info" panel of the grading interface, the grader can |
| 25 | +review the different submission versions and change which version is |
| 26 | +selected for grading. |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +*TODO: Insert image of the Student Info panel showing the submission version dropdown menu* |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +***NOTE**: The grader should exercise caution when using this option, |
| 31 | +either to correct a student's obvious submission version error or |
| 32 | +apply course administration policies.* |
| 33 | + |

| 35 | +## Using the "Clear Version Conflicts" Button |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +Alternately, if the student was allowed by the course instructor to |
| 38 | +make a new submission or modify which submission version is used for |
| 39 | +grading, then the grader should review the submitted materials and |
| 40 | +either verify that the manual grading score and comments are still |
| 41 | +appropriate for the modified submission version OR the grader should |
| 42 | +*regrade* the entire assignment and update the score and comments as |
| 43 | +appropriate. |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +In the grading interface, there is a "Clear Version Conflicts" button |
| 46 | +that will update the submission version stored in the database for |
| 47 | +each component of the rubric and resolve this issue. It can be found |
| 48 | +through navigating to a student gradeable that has a version conflict, |
| 49 | +opening rubric, and the button appears along the top right of the |
| 50 | +grading rubric page. If there are comments from previous versions, red |
| 51 | +text can be seen at the header of each component within the |
| 52 | +gradeable. Once clicked, on that gradeable there is a blue button to |
| 53 | +choose to save and resolve version conflicts, or a white button to |
| 54 | +discard. The message can also be updated, then saved. When the |
| 55 | +comments are all saved or discarded: click the "Clear Version |
| 56 | +Conflicts" button. A message will appear asking for confirmation, |
| 57 | +click “ok”, and the version conflict is cleared. |
