 Assignment Level Scripts
 ========================
+
 You can use assignment level scripts to evaluate student code, normalize points, and mark for participation grading. Assignment level scripts are added in the **Script Grading** field on the :ref:`Script Grading <grade-weights>` settings page. These scripts can then transfer the grading value into the grading field. Assignment level scripts are run when an assignment is **Marked as Complete**.
 
 .. Note:: The script must execute within 3 minutes or a timeout error occurs. There is a maximum size for the feedback that can be returned of 1Mb. If this limit is exceeded, the message **Payload content length greater than maximum allowed: 1048576** will be returned.
 
 If you are using an LMS platform with Codio, be sure to enter a percentage value in the **Grade Weight** field to maintain compatibility with LMS gradebooks. This value is then transferred into your LMS gradebook once you :ref:`release the grades <release-grades>`.

 You can test your auto-grading script in the Codio IDE from the **Education > Test Autograde Script** on the menu bar. This option allows you to specify the location of your auto-grading script and run it against the current project content. It also allows you simulate scores attained by any auto-graded assessments located in the Codio Guide and select which autograded assessments to test.
