Add notes to student profile?

[klaczko]

Hey there,

Is there a place to add notes (for yourself, as an instructor), in a student profile? For example, if a student goes by a different name than shows up in Canvas, or a phonetic spelling for myself. Thanks!

Hello, @klaczko !  Yes, there is a way to add notes; you'll add it to your gradebook.  Please note, that these notes may be subject to open records request!

The link to show you step-by-step directions is https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-use-the-Notes-column-in-the-Gradebook/t...  

I LOVE this feature for the reasons you mentioned in your question.
