Step 13 - Export feedback reports in bulk to PDF

Export feedback reports in bulk to PDF

The previous article discussed exporting and printing feedback reports on an essay-by-essay basis. But you can also export the reports in bulk to PDF, either as a .ZIP file of individual reports or one single PDF containing all the reports grouped together.

Exporting the feedback report to PDF in bulk can only be done from the essay list on the assignment screen.

Navigate using the sidebar and/or main window to the assignment where the essays for which you wish to export the feedback report are located.

Select the essays for report export in the list by checkmarking the empty box to the left of each essay. You can select all at once or choose them one at a time, if you wish to be more selective about your choices. You may use filters to narrow down the list as well.

As soon as any essay is selected, a new menu item will appear in the top bar that says Export.

The export options are PDF and Export as one single PDF file. The functionality is as follows:

PDF – This option will create a .ZIP file containing individual feedback reports for each of the selected essays.
Export as one single PDF file – This option will combine all of the feedback reports for the essays selected into one file containing all the reports.

Select either PDF or Export as one single PDF file, depending on which you need. This will open a window with options for exporting. The options available are explaind in detail in the Export grading feedback (printed copies and digital PDF) help center article.

Once you've selected or deselected the options according to your need, Click Export to create and download the .ZIP or .PDF file. You will see a success message when the export is complete.

The downloaded PDF is likely in your Downloads folder on your computer or other device, but depending on your browser it may have been placed eleswhere. The naming convention for both the ZIP and PDF files is EssayGrader_essays plus the date and time (e.g., EssayGrader_essays_09-11-2025_03-39PM.zip or .pdf if you've exported a single PDF with all reports included). If you can't find the download try searching your computer using the naming convention (or a part of it) as your search string. You can also usually check the Downloads screen in your browser and it should allow you to navigate to wherever the download file was placed.

If you wish to print a single document containing all of the feedback reports, please export to PDF as a single file and then use your browser or PDF reader to view and print the file.
