How do I put in bullet points into a rubric? This would be especially helpful in putting in criteria so the ratings could identify that 3/4 criteria were met.

Hello there, @jknox1 Welcome to the Canvas Community. Thank you for posting your question. Currently, there isn't a way to add bulleted items to rubric criteria rows. However, there is a Feature Idea that's open for voting called https://community.canvaslms.com/ideas/11885-formatting-of-rubrics" modifiedtitle="true" title="Forma.... If you feel that this Feature Idea aligns with something that you would like to see in Canvas, I would encourage you to add your vote and maybe add a comment to the bottom of that idea letting Canvas engineers know why something like this would be important to you. I know this might not be the answer you were hoping for, but I do hope it helps to answer your question. Sing out of you have any other questions about this...thanks Jeff.

However, you can add unicode text to the criteria that would act like bullet points. Here is a link to a canvas question that has the information in it. Color icons are near the bottom. Just highlight, copy and paste it in
possible sample of what you can see:
It would be better if you could get one per line. I will have to try to find the rubric that had that and find out what I did.
Being able to do one per line would be awesome. I have tried different things, but unsuccessfully
