How do I change the points possible on an existing item in the Gradebook?

Purpose & Scope

There will be times when the point value will need to be changed in the Blackboard gradebook for an existing item due to a change in assessment criteria for the course or to correct a typographical error or omission.

In this demonstration, three methods will be shown to change the total points for a gradebook item entitled Lecture 7. Pick the one that works best for you.
