I'm talking about this report:
A teacher can manually complete activities in the Activity completion report - not the Course completion report, which is what your screenshot shows.
When you say "manual activity" I am not quite sure what you mean (either of you) I meant that any activity which has activity completion attached to it can be overridden by the teacher manually in the Activity completion report and this has been available since Moodle 3.4
This was added in Moodle 3.4. Some of the common use case for this are listed in the original tracker: https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-37361
Thanks Randy & Mary!
What I meant by „manual“ is an activity which the students marks complete himself manually. (In contrast to automatic in the sense of „upon view“ or „by grade“).
If I haven’t missed anything in the 78 comments 😊 in the tracker, it comes down to „student think he has completed the activity, marks it complete, but the teacher disagrees and the student shall try again and therefore overrides completion to incomplete“.
I was wondering what the point of overriding was when the student could always click complete again; but if it’s meant as a „feedback“ that kind of makes sense to me.
Thanks again!
(And sorry for hijacking the post….)

I can give you some actual cases I have seen (built) for the purely manual option.
The course is over and the instructor is reviewing final projects and can manually adjust the completion based on what they find. For instance, the grading for something manually marked done was done by an instructor for a group or a teaching assistant, and the main course instructor wants to adjust it.
A student has started a course but has been or is or will be been absent and can't access the site and so the enrolment has been suspended, but they may still be sending in work directly to the instructor via paper or phone or email.

A course is hidden from students because it is used for recording a prior record of learning (and may also be part of a course completion sequence), where various instructors (or an HR staff person) are marking the manual boxes when they get the proof of the prior learning. This completion may then open up other courses for the student to take.
A manual check box is put at the end of the course (in a Label) for the student to check when they believe they are done. This triggers a notice to the instructor to review the student work to verify this. If the student missed something, the instructor uncompletes it and the student reviews and marks it complete again when they have corrected the issue.
