How do you set the default editing tool to "Textbox" instead of the "Pointer" tool?
Hello @kgish
Thank you for contacting the Instructure Community. Unfortunately, there isn't a built in feature or way to get the speedgrader to open with the preferred tool upon launch. By default, the speedgrader will open with your editing tool using the pointer - this way it's a blank state and the user can navigate to comments, annotations, textbox, etc. as they please. It doesn't have an auto-store or save option although we certainly understand why you would want one. Hopefully this information helps.
Thanks! Since you understand why, I hope you make this ability available.

Another feature that would be nice is to have the "save" button for pages at the top next to the "edit" button, and not just at the bottom. If I go to make an edit near the top of the page, and my pages may be long, I have to scroll to the bottom all the time - which is a hassel.
Hi, My institution is starting to use Respondus LockDown Browser. My question concerns an exam using the 'New Quizzes' engine that requires the use of LockDown Browser.

Hello, I am using checkpoint discussions. When I see that I have some submissions in my To Do list to grade, I click on it, go into Speedgrader, and now have to search to see which students have posted or not. It used to designate which students had posts to grade so it was easy to just go to those students. Something has…
I'm not sure that this is the right place to post about this, but I was wondering if anyone has a fix for how the scroll bar for the entire page covers the scroll bar for just a document viewed in Canvas. The scroll bar for a document will stay visible until one attempts to interact with it, at which point the bar for the…
Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
After using Canvas for a while, I picked up a small habit that’s saved me some last-minute stress with written submissions. Even when drafts are original, longer explanations and summaries tend to reuse common phrasing, especially in research-heavy assignments. Before submitting, I usually do a quick cleanup pass to reduce…
