On Canvas instructor using SpeedGrader, there is currently only one line weight option. It makes it incredibly difficult to write annotations by hand with the Apple Pencil. Adding a few different widths would greatly improve the usability of SpeedGrader on iPad.

Hi! Using the app, I am able to adjust my line thickness in the same "flyout" menu I use to adjust the pen's color. 😎

Tap the icon that looks like a paintbrush. Then, tap the color-filled circle to the right. That will open a menu where you can adjust your color (manual por presets) AND adjust your thickness from 0.1pt to 40pt.

Let me know if you'd like screenshots to help you find the settings. I'd be happy to help!

Thank you. Once again Canvas fails to be intuitive for me. I always expect the brush options to come up when touching the brush icon again after it's already selected. I feel very dumb.
