Give teachers the ability to annotate PDF assignments for specific students before they submit

When our district listened to Canvas present, I asked if teachers could annotate assignments. They said yes, but now I am trying to annotate specific students' assignments to modify them before the students do them. For example, I want to highlight/color code certain parts and I'm not able to. Is it possible to annotate PDFs before students submit work? I know that I can annotate once students submit work but I was hoping to be able to do this before students submit. I also want to modify for specific students. This feature is so easy on Showbie. Our district switched away from Showbie for many other reasons, but I am wondering if there is a similar feature on Canvas. If not, there should be.
