I can't edit or correct the student's assignment

I have a student that has uploaded his assignment into Canvas, and I don't know if there is something I can do to correct the problem or if he did something wrong.  I am not able to grade his paper , and I see nothing that will enable me to grade his paper.  His paper states "paper view", if I pull down the menu it states "plain text view".  There is also nothing at the top of his paper for me to:  mark "x's" or write comments.  What do I do?

Good evening,  @jnave8 ...

It sounds like your student may have submitted the assignment to you via text entry.  According to this Guide, annotation tools are not available for text entry submissions: https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-17742-41521137387  I'm not sure if you allow re-submissions, but if you do, you might want to ask your student to re-submit the text in a Word document or a PDF file so that you can take advantage of the annotation tools that SpeedGrader has to offer.

I hope this helps, Judith.  Sing out if you have any questions about this...thanks!
