Manual copy grading

Open Inventory, select an owned copy, open More card options and choose Edit grading. Choose Not graded or Graded, then record the provider, recorded grade, scale or version, designation or qualifier, optional certificate number, holder version, label variant and any subgrades. Use certificate from URL fills the certificate number from an official record URL. Choosing Not graded clears only that copy's grading. It does not remove ownership, acquisition details or location. Duplicate printings keep independent grades. Unknown text stays as recorded text; no label, grade, authenticity or price is inferred.

Save grading queues the edit on this device and sends it with your other collection changes. If you are offline the app says the change is saved on this device and will sync when you are back online. If the collection changed somewhere else the edit is held rather than lost, and the app tells you so. Lost replies retry the same operation instead of creating another copy.

Grading can only be edited once the app has a complete, current read of your collection in this session, with no unsynced or unresolved changes waiting. Otherwise the app asks you to try again once the collection has finished updating. When the app has started from saved data offline it is read-only, so grading cannot be edited until you reconnect.

Certificates, private label asset references and official record links stay private to the owner and partners. Provider links open in an external browser page; they do not fetch or verify data. Certificate sharing is not available, and uploads, ACE evidence and automatic certificate import are not supported.

Over REST or MCP, the patchGrading command in execute_inventory_commands updates only the declared public fields of existing grading and preserves hidden certificates, assets and provenance. It cannot set private certificate or asset fields. Developer reads return a redacted projection, never the complete private record.
