Here is an image of the Resources UI showing available conditions from the Gradebook:

Condition Types

Conditional Release can monitor two types of changes in the Gradebook:

  1. changes to an assignment's details (title, due date, points available, availability to students, considered in the course grade)
  2. change to an individual student's assignment grade

The main difference between these two is that conditions of the first type will affect availability for all students, while conditions of the second type affect availability on a per-student basis.
