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? .

Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
This is my first time using the new discussion "checkpoints". I'm hoping the multiple due dates are effective, but using the "checkpoints" does seem to create other problems: They only allow for ONE "reply to topic". The way I use discussions in some of my classes is to allow for students to ask MULTIPLE questions per…
I tried the Quick Reassess feature today. Once I approved the questions and created the assessment it went to the tracker for Block 1. But I can't find the new assessment in my assessments to add to Blocks 2 & 4. If I have to recreate for each class, they won't have the same questions. I also cannot find the option to…
