Re submission of annotated PDF

[NicholleB]

I had my students use the student annotations in Canvas today and then could not save their work unless they hit submit. Then when they went in to more work, they could not edit. If they hit "New attempt" it made them start over. Suggestions?

Hello there, @NicholleB ...

I'm not sure that editing an already-submitted annotated assignment is a function of the new Student Annotations within Canvas.  Please review these two Guides:

If you wanted to see additional functionality with this new feature of Canvas, then you would need to submit a new Feature Idea here in the Community.  To do this, click on the PRODUCT menu at the top of any page here in the Community.  Then click on IDEA CONVERSATIONS.  Finally, click on the "Suggest an idea" button.  Here are a few Guides about Feature Ideas that may be of use:

I hope these resources will be of some help to you.  Please let Community members know if you have any other questions about this...thanks!
