[DocViewer] Bulk Download of Annotated DocViewer documents by assignment

Instructors can easily bulk-download student submissions, and instructors can individually download the PDF showing the annotations they've made to a student's submission in DocViewer. There is currently no way to bulk download all annotated submissions for an assignment in one click.  Faculty frequently want to keep a portfolio of this feedback / graded work for each student.

 

Similar requests have been made by Eric Castro and Robert Jones, but haven't received the votes needed.

I had a faculty request for this today, so the need still exists.

Is there any hope that this feature will ever be added. This LMS feature would save people a lot of time and frustration.

I agree! This would be a fantastic upgrade in Canvas.

Problem statement:

Currently we have to download each student submission with annotations individually. We are preparing for accreditation, which will require the submissions with annotations for each student. This is extremely time consuming and instructors would like the ability to do the bulk download with submissions for assignments in Canvas.

Proposed solution:

The solution would be to allow instructors to bulk download assignment submissions with the annotations for those submissions. The "Why" for the solution is that this would be a huge timesaver for any institution that is undergoing program assessment or accreditation.
