Here is the use case scenario: Faculty want to have a single student submit a paper and all other students provide feedback on that single submission. The peer feedback should only be viewable to the faculty and the student who submitted the paper. Peer feedback seems to be an answer, but that requires a submission before being able to provide the peer review, which seems too clunky. Open to all thoughts/ideas. TIA...(Thanks in Advance)

Microsoft has Forms, too. I just don't know much about it or how it works. According to this from Microsoft, it may be able to work in a similar way:
With Microsoft Forms you can create a form, such as a survey or quiz, invite others to respond to it using almost any web browser or mobile device, see real-time results as they're submitted, use built-in analytics to evaluate responses, and export results to Excel for additional analysis or grading.
I don't know if there's a way to do this in Canvas. I often suggest using Discussions for ongoing feedback, but as far as I know there is no way to limit who sees the feedback. Anyone who responds can see all the responses.
If you are a Google institution, you could combine Canvas with a Google Form. Post the assignment instructions as a Discussion in Canvas. Ask each student to use the Reply to 1) post their own paper (embedded in the RCE or as a link) and 2) provide a link to a Google Form for others to provide the feedback. Ask each student author to add the faculty members as Collaborators on their own Form so that they can see all the responses (but no other students can see them).
All students can view the Discussion with all the Replies containing their classmates' work and links to individual Forms. Each can read everyone's paper on Canvas and provide feedback using the Google Form link.
