The Mark as missing scoring option is designed to give teachers a way to alert students to a missing activity (or a missing part of an activity), usually to encourage the student to take some action to address it (retry where allowed, talk to the teacher, etc).

When Mark as missing is used for an activity: 

• Teachers can return a score without marking the activity as complete, so students know how the missing activity will be scored if they don't address it and activities that require completion for access are not made accessible. 
• An icon (a clipboard with an exclamation point) appears with the activity in Grades screens to notify students and teachers.

• A Status: Missing message appears in the activities Grade details screens.

After Mark as missing has been assigned to an activity, any action taken by the student (like retrying the activity) or by the teacher (like submitting a score or using the other grading options in the Grade editor) automatically clears Mark as missing with an updated status.

This is because Mark as missing is intended to motivate a student to notice and address the problem of not completing work and a new action should indicate that this has happend. For example, if a teacher marks an activity as missing, and the student talks to the teacher and they decide together that the student will retry the activity. The teacher simply has to click Allow retry, and the missing status is removed.
