# Understanding Gradebook and Learner Progress in Open edX

## How do instructors and learners view grades and progress?

Instructors access grades through the Gradebook in the LMS Instructor dashboard. Learners track their own grades and completion status on the course **Progress** page.

### How do I open the Gradebook?

1. Open the course in the LMS Instructor dashboard.
2. Go to **Student Admin**.
3. Select **View Gradebook**.

### How do learners view their progress?

Learners open the **Progress** tab in the course navigation bar to view their grades and completion status for each unit.

### Do hidden course sections count toward progress and completion?

Hidden content does not count toward progress or completion metrics — it is excluded from the learner's progress calculation until it is made available.
