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