There is no event quite as frustrating as accidentally deleting a grade or grade column from the Scholar Grade Center. While Scholar records each change that you make to the Grade Center, you may find it easier to restore from a backup. This article describes how to back up your Grade Center.
The Gradebook has a feature that allows you to save a copy on your own computer. You may want to save a copy before and after you make major changes to your Grade Center layout or grade a large number of papers.
In the course, use the control panel to access the full Gradebook.
On the upper right there are a series of icons, right below the Student Preview button. Select the Download buttons, which looks like a box with an arrow pointing downwards.
On the sidebar that comes up, you will be able to download either the full grade center or a specific column. You can also select to download the Grade History, which provides the history of changes made to individual grades. You will also be able to select the file type of the download; select a .csv file for the file type, as there are problems importing the tab delimited format into newer versions of Excel. When you have chosen all your settings, click 'Download' to download the file to your computer.
When you need to upload this file, follow a similar process. This time, select the upload button, which looks like a box with an arrow pointing upwards. 
Using the sidebar that pops up, you can either browse for the desired file, or drag and drop it into the space. Select Upload to upload the file onto your Gradebook.
