Step 1 — Sync submissions from Schoology

Last updated: June 9, 2026

What this does: Pulls the latest student submissions from your Schoology assignment into the Assess review screen so you can grade them.

Steps

  1. Open your course in Schoology and launch DoubleXL Assess. The app opens inside Schoology in a three-column review screen.
  2. In the left column, locate the Assignments list and select the assignment you want to grade.
  3. Click the Sync Submissions button, located below the assignment name in the left column.
  4. Wait a moment while Assess retrieves submissions. The middle column will populate with a list of student submissions.
  5. Check the needs review counter at the top of the middle column to see how many submissions are waiting for your attention.

What syncing pulls in

Assess imports whatever the student submitted in Schoology: typed essays, short answers, uploaded PDFs, and photos of handwritten work. Each submission appears in the middle column with a status badge — initially Pending if grading has not started.

If something looks off

If a student’s submission does not appear after syncing, confirm the student submitted the assignment in Schoology before the sync. If submissions are still missing, contact your district Schoology administrator.
