# How do I grade group assignments in SpeedGrader?

Before you can evaluate group work, you will need to [create a group assignment](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-assign-an-assignment-to-a-course-group/ta-p/633). Students can submit Google documents, pages, and other group work as an assignment.

**Note:** Students should be assigned to groups before group assignments are published. Grades and submissions may be affected for students who were not in a group at the time of assignment submission but who were later added to a group or students who were removed from a group.

When grading the submission \[2\], the entered grade will only apply for the student whose submission you are viewing.

Individually graded group assignments include commenting options. To send your comment to one student in a group, select **Send comment to this student only** \[3\]. To send your comment to the whole group, select **Send comment to the whole group** \[4\]. Then, click the **Submit** button \[5\].

Individual comments also appear in the [Submission Comments filter](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Colder-Storage/How-do-I-reply-to-submission-comments-in-the-Inbox-as-an/td-p/256582) in Conversations.
