Rubrics set to all-or-nothing when I use them. Level 4 can only be 100%; but Ss work isn't perfect

How can a student link an artifact already uploaded to their portfolio to an assignment folder?
I am asking this so students can use the Portfolio app to create and upload think aloud videos and then these can be (quick) linked to an assignment?
