  2. Or select the down arrow (Open menu) in the column heading for an existing Gradebook item, and then select Edit Item Details.

Note: If the Gradebook item is locked, it is coming from another tool. You will not be able to associate a rubric with locked items, since they must be graded from within the tool of origin.
