What does a "Z" mean in Pinnacle?

The "Z" signifies that you have received a zero on an assignment, but you 
are allowed to make it up.  If/ when a "0" appears, the grade is now final.

Why shouldn't I throw away my work after it is graded?

Your assignment, with the grade I put on it, is your only proof that is was 
submitted, graded and recorded.  If by chance Pinnacle erases the grade, you 
now have the necessary proof that the assignment has a grade.  If you throw 
away your work, I will not remember if you completed the assignment, nor 
what your grade was on it. Additionally, you should use your assignments for 
reviewing, studying & binder check.
