Is there a comment library feature for in-rubric comments?

[ShaDowOak]

I like to leave my students comments on each individual rubric criteria. 

Is there a comment library feature for in-rubric comments, or is it only available for assignment comments in speed grader?

Hello again @ShaDowOak - 

While Canvas itself does not have a comment library for the rubric comment fields, I would like to share an alternative tool that works quite well for this. We've been using Typeitin by Waveget for probably +15 years. After setting up a button with the text you wish to enter, position the cursor where you want the text to appear then press the button.  This tool has saved me days of time. It cut my grading time by half and so it is well worth the $25. A free trial is available.

Enjoy!

I can now vouch for TypeItIn, just made my own purchase after trying it out for a few weeks. I can now transfer my accumulated rubric comments text into associated buttons, and do one-click insert of them, until Canvas addresses some issues with the existing rubric comments library (notable removing blank lines from the comment text).
