Migration from GradeBook v5 to v6

GradeBook v6 is a major refresh that keeps every feature you already rely on while making everything run more smoothly. Use this checklist after you start using v6 to confirm things still look and feel right.

Your existing GradeBooks, data, and workflows remain intact. You do not need to make new GradeBooks, but you should validate a few settings after the upgrade.

What Changed (and Why)

• Fresh start after 10 years: GradeBook has grown a lot since 2015, so we cleaned up the base to keep future updates quick and stable.
• Faster and steadier: Reports, imports, and other heavy jobs finish faster and handle errors more gracefully.
• More accessible: Every menu follows WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines with matching layouts, labels, and controls.
• Settings where you use them: Options now live directly inside each menu, so you tweak things right where they run.
• Automation overview: A simple tracking sheet shows which GradeBooks are scheduled, when they ran last, and whether they succeeded.
• Nothing removed: Everything you used in v5 is still here.

Post-Migration Checklist

1. Open each menu you care about
   Settings that used to live in one central place now sit inside their respective menus. Open Import, Reports, Attendance, etc., and make sure each value matches what you expect.
2. Double-check automation if enabled
   Scheduled imports live inside the import menu under the Automatic Imports card (see Import from Google Classroom). Automated report sends live inside the send reports menu under the Automatic Reports card (see Send Reports). Each setting should stay on or off the way you left it, but take a moment to confirm inside those menus.
3. Run one Classroom import manually
   Start an import to confirm roster sync, assignment selection, and grading preferences still behave as before.
4. Generate a report manually
   Create a student or course report to ensure layout, logos, colors, and styling look right.

If anything looks out of place, open that menu, adjust the setting, and save again.
