Having trouble figuring out to make Docviewer toolbar appear so I can edit text submissions
@RussellFrank If the assignment's submission type is "text entry" then you can't edit/annotate student submissions in SpeedGrader, and can either add general Submission Comments in SpeedGrader to leave feedback or download the student submissions, edit them on your device, and then upload them again to Canvas. (see How do I download all student submissions for an assignment? and How do I upload all student submissions for an assignment? ).
The annotation tools that are part of the DocViewer and only available in SpeedGrader for submissions that render in the actual DocViewer. These types include file uploads (with supported file types), student annotations, and a few select External Tools). More about making annotations to submissions in DocViewer and SpeedGrader can be found at How do I add annotated comments in student submissions using DocViewer in SpeedGrader? and the supported file types for rendering to DocViewer can be found at What types of files can be previewed in Canvas? .
If the submissions you are attempting to edit are a supported file type, the issue may be that you aren't using a supported browser when viewing the submissions. You can see if your browser is fully supported by Canvas at What are the browser and computer requirements for Instructure products? .

If someone hits the old link, after entering their…
I have been asked to discover whether Canvas Catalog can accept eCheck payments. My thought is that since Catalog is configured to redirect to a payment form at our Payment Gateway, that this might be more a question of configuring an additional option into the Catalog and payment gateway settings. Has anyone done this?
One of the teachers has registered for Google Services in her Canvas account. However, she is unable to link the Google Assignment LTI as an external tool for assignment submissions. The error message is "account not linked" after clicking continue at this step: When I try to go into this teacher's course as an admin and…

The line between "skills" and "competencies" gets blurry fast, and "learning how to learn" means different things depending on who you ask. We're putting together an Educast 3000 podcast episode on all of it, and your questions will shape the conversation. Curious how to teach students to learn independently, what the…
