The Mark details workspace

The Mark details workspace is where you’ll spend the most time in Marking.ai. It’s the screen for reviewing a single student’s submission — their work alongside the marks, the AI’s reasoning, and your editing controls.

This article gives you a tour.

Getting there

Open the Mark details workspace by clicking any row in a submissions table:

  • The submissions table on an assessment detail page
  • The list of recent submissions on your home page
  • A direct link from the Activity screen
  • An entry from Marko (“open Jane’s biology submission”)

What’s on the page

There are four main areas:

The submission view

On the left, you’ll see the student’s actual work — the PDF or image they submitted. You can scroll, zoom, and move between pages as you’d expect.

The marks and feedback panel

On the right, each question shows:

  • The question text
  • The student’s extracted answer
  • The mark awarded (e.g. 4/5) and a short rationale explaining why
  • A feedback block with teacher-facing comments
  • Edit controls for the mark and the feedback

This is where most of your reviewing happens.

The right rail

A narrower column on the far right offers:

  • An overall confidence indicator — how sure Marking.ai is about this submission’s marking. See Understanding confidence indicators.
  • A quick-jump question list — click to scroll to any question
  • Optional Marko prompts — quick actions like “Explain this mark” or “Help me prepare feedback”

The header

At the top: the student’s name, total score, the assessment, and the submission switcher — use the arrows or dropdown to move between students without going back.

Moving between submissions

There are three ways to move from one student to the next:

  • Arrow buttons in the header (← previous, → next)
  • The submission switcher dropdown in the header
  • Keyboard shortcuts (forward/back arrows when not in a text field)

Editing

Most things on this page are editable. The key things to know:

FAQs

Why am I being shown the AI’s reasoning?

So you can decide whether to trust the mark. Marking.ai is meant to support your judgement, not replace it — the rationale exists so you can spot anything that needs a second look.

What if I disagree with a mark?

Edit it directly. Your edit is the final mark — see Editing a mark.

Can I see this submission in a print-friendly format?

Yes — use the Export options in the assessment’s actions menu to get a clean PDF report. See Exporting a submission report PDF.
