# Export grades for your gradebook

## Quick answer

Open the assignment's Responses tab and select Export grades. Choose Download CSV for a file or Open in Google Sheets for a new sheet. Review names and scores before copying them into your gradebook.

## What to do

1. **Open Responses**: Open an assignment with at least one submission and select Responses.

   ![Assignment tabs with Responses selected and Export grades above the response table.](/img/teachers/assignment-tabs-actions.jpg)

   *Open Responses, then find Export grades above the table.*

2. **Select Export grades**: The menu is available above the response table.

   *Use Export grades after the response table has the rows and final scores you expect.*

3. **Choose the format**: Select Download CSV for a local file. Select Open in Google Sheets to create a sheet; sign in to Google if Fiveable asks for authorization.

4. **Review the export**: Check student names, completion, and final scores. Resolve duplicates or account-name differences before importing the data into another gradebook.

## If something is not working

### Export grades is disabled.

The assignment needs at least one grade row. Refresh Responses and complete any required reviews first.

### Google Sheets asks me to sign in.

Choose the Google account where you want the sheet saved and approve the requested connection. You can use Download CSV instead.
