It's pretty forgiving - it won't read extraneous spaces as wrong. Most problems are worded to be clear about what form the answer should take. If it asks for an equation, the system expects y=2x+1. If it's just asking for what y equals, the blank will typically read y= [ ] so students only input 2x+1.

The Gradebook in XYZ Homework works automatically as students complete assessments. If you need grades in another system, the easiest approach is to use the "export" settings in the gradebook. It creates a .csv file (comma-separated values) that you can open in any spreadsheet program and may be able to import directly into your other system.
