It would be great if students were automatically notified for annotations. To deal with this issue right now, I have my students set their Canvas notifications to be notified immediately for the "Submission Comment" option. In the comment box, I usually write, "Please see comments throughout your submission", which lets them know that there are further comments. I do find that they also need instructions on HOW to find their feedback... Hope this helps!

Thank you for this information! This is great news, and the other new features sound great, as well.

This idea has been developed and deployed to Canvas As part of the formative assessment cycle, I leave comments on my students' work and ask them to "comment back" to me using the "Reply" feature. This worked great with Crocodoc; however, with the new DocViewer, the boxes are very large, even when there isn't a lot of text. This causes comments to take up a ton of space, which means that comments often do not appear next to the part of the assignment in question. They will end up way down the page, making it hard for students to track the comments, and reply to my prompts/questions. Also, as the comment boxes expand with student replies, they cover one another and sometimes the boxes behind cannot be viewed. Students have expressed frustration regarding inability to view all comments, and the only way for them to view the boxes underneath is for me to move the comments around. When I move comments, they no longer point to the part of the assignment that has to be fixed.
