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? .

Checkpoints in student view previously displayed directly below and slightly indented from the discussion forum,…
My school district has changed our required Learning Outcomes for all of our courses for this school year. How can I archive the 400+ Learning Outcomes we used last school year so they're still linked to our 25-26 courses but teachers can't use them in 26-27 courses going forward?
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
