How do I reply to submission comments in the Inbox as an instructor?
Submission Comments allows users to view all assignment submission comments sent and received within the last four weeks. You can reply to submission comments directly from the Inbox.
Submission comments only appear between a student and any user who has appropriate Gradebook and SpeedGrader editing and commenting permissions—most commonly an instructor, TA, or both.
For assignments with hidden grades, submission comments are not displayed until the assignment is posted.
Open Inbox
In Global Navigation, click the Inbox link.
Open Submission Comments
Click the Inbox filter [1] and select the Submission Comments option [2].

Each message contains the name of the course and the name of the submission. Click the submission comment where you want to reply.

In the toolbar, click the Reply icon [1]. You can also click the reply icon in the conversation thread [2].
