Using Pen with iPad

I had my students answer their midterm exam questions on Canvas through the Quiz function. Rather than write their exam on a separate document and upload their responses, they wrote it on the Canvas site. When I go to grade them on my iPad using my Apple pen to make comments, there is no function to let me do this. Further, I cannot download their answers as there is no download link. I have had to copy and paste 50 individual responses to Word documents and save them that way, then grade them in the Word file. Am I missing something? This seems incredibly convoluted. I have used both Speedgrader and Canvas Teacher, and neither has a pen function, although there is a YouTube video from 2015 where the person is using Canvas Teacher, and it has an edit bar where you can use a pen--mine does have this function--so does anyone know if it was removed or is there a setting that I have overlooked?

Correct. We cannot use an Apple Pen to annotate text submissions in a quiz. As Eric suggested, this would need to be a Feature Idea. However, since this doesn't exist for quizzes (graded via SpeedGrader on the browser), it would need to be built there before it could be moved to mobile.
