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? .

We have enabled the automatic migration of Classic to New Quizzes. When we import QTI files, though, they always fail to load as New Quizzes. If we disabled New Quiz Migration, it works. Why does it only work for Classic Quizzes? Are there any guaranteed tools that will generate QTI files that will import correctly as New…
Is it possible to change the system-wide notification defaults for a hosted Canvas instance? Since I can't find a way to do it, nor any reference to doing it, I'm assuming not but wanted to make sure before I give that as an answer.
Hi everyone, I had a teacher reach out with an odd (and concerning) LockDown Browser issue and wanted to see if others have experienced something similar. A student was taking a quiz using Respondus LockDown Browser on a Chromebook 300e Yoga G4 (8GB), a 2‑in‑1 device that can flip into tablet mode. During the active quiz,…
Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
