Hey Angela,
We do have some stylus support: "Stylus functionality is supported for any user who can access DocViewer. Support is provided for the Microsoft Surface Pro running Windows 10 using the Chrome or Edge browser. Stylus support is limited to Bamboo Ink and any stylus officially supported by Microsoft for the Surface Pro. Limited stylus compatibility is also available in the Firefox browser."

Let us know if you have any further questions!

Thank you, Michael! Are there plans to make the stylus function available to other 2-in-1's like Lenovo's Yoga? If so, do you have an anticipated timeline for availability? From a teaching/grading perspective, this function would be EXTREMELY helpful in speeding up the grading and commenting process in Canvas and shouldn't be limited to Surface Pro users.
Thank you, again, for your help!
