If you are using assignments (How to grade an assignment), quizzes (How to grade a quiz), forums or other gradable items they have their own built-in grading tools that will be overridden by entering grades for them directly into the gradebook. The built-in grading tools have superior ways to provide feedback and provide clearer grading for your students to look over, so primarily use those.
