[SpeedGrader] Comment Library - comments by assignment

This idea has been developed and is On Canvas Beta •  How do I access the Canvas beta environment?

For more information, please read through the Canvas Release Notes (2025-11-15) 


Problem statement:

The comment library is not useful because it is too general. If someone teaches multiple courses and each of those have multiple assignments, using a general comment from another course isn't saving me time. For example my stuents are writing a reflection on "boundaries" and I want to say something like, "I appreciate the amount of transparency in your reflection. Thank you for discussing the ways you are working on this." I certainly can add this comment, but then it's in a "bank" of various other comments from other classes.

Proposed solution:

In the comment library, please have options saved for that particular assignment. Many of us import courses year after year, and it would be such a time saver to be able to have assignment specific comments in the options (without all the other comments blended in).
