[ARCHIVED] Autoload DocViewer for Students

[GeoffOrton1]

At present students have to click 'view feedback' to see my annotations. Is there a way to enable autoloading for DocViewer for all students across the instance, as it's a bit of a UX issue at my school at the moment, and lots of students are missing quality feedback via teacher annotations and text highlights.

Hello @GeoffOrton1 

I don't think there is a way to have the 'View feedback' option to autoload across your entire instance of Canvas. Currently, it will display an indicator if there are annotated comments left by the instructor that the student has not viewed. The student would need to manually click the View Feedback button to take a look at the annotations made. 

You might be able to create some custom CSS for it to autoload. However, Customer CSS can be a bit tricky unless you know what you're doing.

Hopefully this helps a little!
