Note: Please note that grade return will only work with Standard Workflow activities

Additionally, if the maximum points in both SL&L and Canvas are set to 0, no grade will be returned to Canvas. The maximum points in SLL must be greater than 0 for a value to be sent back to the Canvas grade book.
