instructor and grader only submission comments

[ben_reed]

is there a way to post a comment to a submission that is visible to the instructor and graders but not visible to the student?

Hello there, @ben_reed ...

I don't believe that this functionality currently exists in Canvas.  However, I did find an existing Feature Idea here in the Community that might be similar to what you are looking for:

Student performance tracking notes in SpeedGrader

If you feel that this Feature Idea is similar to something you'd like to see in Canvas, I'd encourage you to give it a star rating and maybe even post a comment to that thread letting Instructure know why it would be important to you ... even giving a real-world example or two.  Here's some more information on the star rating system:

How do idea conversations work in the Instructure Community?

I know this might not be the answer you were hoping to get, but I hope the above information will be helpful to you.
