I'm writing to advocate for an enhancement to the Gradebook functionality that would significantly improve grading efficiency and faculty workflow. Current Challenge: As it stands, grading and feedback in Canvas involve several cumbersome steps that take away valuable teaching time. Specifically: Comment Editing: Currently, we cannot edit comments once they are saved in the Gradebook. This means if we make a mistake, need to clarify something, or want to update feedback based on further review, we have to resort to a tedious workaround: Copy the entire comment. Paste it into a separate textbox for editing. Delete the original comment in the Gradebook. This is incredibly time-consuming and prone to errors, especially with lengthy feedback. (See attached screenshot for a visual example of the comment box limitations).
Enable Comment Editing within the Gradebook: Implementing a simple edit function (like a pencil icon) would allow faculty to correct mistakes, refine feedback, and update grades efficiently, all within the Gradebook interface.
