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.

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…
Hello, I’m wondering if Differentiation Tags can be configured as part of a Blueprint course. Our goal is to store differentiated content (pages, assessments, etc.) centrally within the Blueprint and have it already associated with specific Differentiation Tags (e.g. Support, Core, Extension). After the Blueprint is…
Dear Forum members, In the past, I asked students to hide some worksheets in the Excel files they would upload to Canvas. I was only interested in the results of their Excel analysis, and asked students to hide the worksheets with raw data in them. This worked until last Fall, but now SpeedGrader is rendering all…
