[ARCHIVED] activate Doc Viewer

[robbusan]

Hi all. I teach writing at a university in Korea. Canvas is the online platform, but I can't find the DocViewer tool.

Does this tool come standard with Canvas? Can I activate this tool?

Thanks,

rob

Hi @robbusan 

DocViewer is built into Canvas, and this is how you are able to view documents you have uploaded into Canvas. In SpeedGrader, DocViewer will automatically render most document types that have been submitted by your students. You, as a teacher, can restrict what document types your students can submit, so that you can always be able to review the docs from within Canvas.

I hope this is helpful,
