Exporting annotations made in files on Canvas

Hello Canvas Community,

Maybe my question is somewhat trivial, but I couldn't find answers on the website. Most of courses at Stanford use canvas as the platform to share presentations and, using an Ipad, I am able to add annotations on those slides/pdfs. However, I just can see my annotations on the same Ipad. Is there a way of exporting those files out of Canvas (e.g. Dropbox) so that I can see them on other devices or even save for backup reasons?

Hi  @earaujo1  and Welcome to the Canvas Community!

Yes! You can "Share" your marked up documents from your mobile device to other cloud locations. I just tried it out on my Android Canvas App and using the Share button (circled in yellow) I could select any destination I have set up my phone to access anyway. And I tried it in iPad too! You know what you normally do to send files.

Share annotation from mobile app Share annotation from mobile app in iOS

Now you can keep your annotations where ever!
