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.
The info "helps" in the sense I understand that I can't do it, but it doesn't "help" in the sense it solves the problem.
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.
My students are telling me that they can't resubmit assignments where they have already made a submission via the google drive external tool. The due date and 'until' date have not passed, and the number of submissions allowed is 'unlimited'.

During the exam I receive the warning message as follows: Please note that the adjusted time limit you've set extends beyond the "Until Time" of [Apr 16, 2026, 11:30 AM] for this quiz. The quiz will automatically submit at the "Until Time" you've…

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…
