@eygul @demekenega @nartehi are working on this.

Here is an image:

I wanted to provide an update on the progress we've made with Issue #12 regarding the addition of a gradebook button to the instructor's grading tab. My teammates, @eygul and @nartehi, and I have been diligently working on this feature since November 7.

We've successfully implemented the necessary changes, and the functionality for a direct link to the gradebook from the grading tab is now in place. However, we've encountered significant challenges with our development environments, which have impacted our ability to conduct thorough testing and finalization of this feature.

Despite these setbacks, we remain committed to resolving these environmental issues and will update the community as soon as we have a working solution ready for review.

Adding on to what @demekenega has expressed, here are the detailed steps for anybody else who would like to fix this issue:

• Clone your fork of this repository into your local machine.
• Follow the directions written in the developer's guide on the Runestone website. Here is the link: https://runestone-monorepo.readthedocs.io/en/latest/structure.html
• Once successfully set up with runestone, add a book. Here are the instructions for that: https://runestone-monorepo.readthedocs.io/en/latest/addbook.html
• After that, add multiple users in the database to simulate a course including an instructor and students.
• Once done, go into your favorite code editor and follow this path to reach the admin.html: bases/rsptx/web2py_server/applications/runestone/views/admin/admin.html
• Once in admin.html, the following HTML element is the gradebook button we will need to copy:
  < a id="gradebookLink" href="/{{=request.application}}/dashboard/grades" class="list-group-item" >
  < h4 style="text-align: center" class ="list-group-item-heading"> Grade Book< /h4 >
  < /a >
• Now, we will need to go to grading.html under the same directory: bases/rsptx/web2py_server/applications/runestone/views/admin/grading.html
• Once in grading.html, edit the contents of the buttons, their CSS styles, and their locations within the page to achieve the best-looking design. Don't forget to add the gradebook button you copied from the admin.html.
• When you are done with the implementation of your design, simply test it with a clean build and push it into your fork on GitHub. Then, you can create a pull request.

The part our team got stuck at was the last step, testing. At that point, all of us simultaneously started having technical issues with our laptops.
