Speedgrader Comments

I had my students submit their papers on Canvas (text entry) and was planning to use the speedgrader to give comments/feedback as I have done in other courses before.  However, this time around, I cannot figure out how to do things like strike a line through text, underline, highlight, etc etc.  All I seem to be able to do is leave one comment in the comment area.  Why can't I find the toolbar that I have used in the past?

Correct Answer

Hello Jason Keyser Welcome to the Canvas Community.  Thank you for posting your question.  I had to do some testing in my own "sandbox" course and a bit of digging around in the Guides for an answer for you.  Sadly, the annotation tools are not available for text entry submissions.  This is confirmed in How do I create an online assignment?.  Check out the section called "Select Online Entry Options":

Text Entry [1]: Students can submit their assignment directly in the Rich Content Editor. DocViewer annotations are not available for text entry submissions. Additionally, text entry submissions cannot be re-uploaded to the Gradebook.

I know this probably wasn't the answer you were looking for, Jason, but I hope it helps to answer your question.
