How do I annotate a file as an assignment submission using Assignment Enhancements?
Your instructor may upload a file for you to annotate as your assignment submission. You can annotate the file and submit it as your assignment submission using Assignment Enhancements.
Notes:
- If the assignment you are accessing displays differently, Assignment Enhancements may not be enabled in your course or your instructor may not have used a supported assignment type. Please view this guide for more information.
- For instruction on completing an assignment, view the assignment details or contact your instructor for assistance.
- Group assignments do not support the student annotation submission type.
