Here is a video explaining why I ask Canvas LMS to prioritize improving comments in the grade book.https://youtu.be/nIqTFz0Qong
Hi @EricMagidson,
Thanks for making that great screencast, it was definitely well done! Personally, I do agree that comments should probably support HTML, but I also can somewhat understand why they don't, as the small comment boxes would struggle to to fix icons above, and I don't think most people would know keyboard shortcuts...
With that being said, we found some very related ideas to this have been submitted: [SpeedGrader] Hyperlinks in Assignment Comments - Instructure Community and [SpeedGrader] Allow HTML in Assignment Comments - Instructure Community. While those are both closely related, they are not exactly the same as your request, since you're working form the grades page and not SpeedGrader. I'd think if either of those ideas were developed, they should apply to all comment areas, but Canvas engineers may not agree, so it's beneficial to have all possible ideas submitted to the Community's ideas area (the more you split your idea into individual components the better). You may not be able to post there right now as a new user, but if you browse around the community a bit and rank up to Community member, you should gain access to make an idea posts pretty quickly. You cold include your video in the new idea post(s) as well as it clearly shows what you're looking for.
I hope this helps a bit, even though I know it's a bit of extra "homework" for you.

@EricMagidson, On a similar note, currently I can import grades in bulk to an assignment via the UI, but I can't import comments. It might be possible using API, but that isn't something that we would be allowed to do. I'm not clear why it would be possible through API and not UI though.
Hey everyone, I didn't see a post about this in my quick perusal of the forums, but I'm wondering if anyone is having issues with Canvas becoming unresponsive. I'm probably the most savvy person with Canvas at my school, so I don't have anyone I can ask. Over the past week I've been getting a variety of errors. Here are…
There is known issue about being unable to use Media Recorder to record media in the RCE and save it when the webcam is disabled (audio only). It's the same whether or not assignment enhancements is on. Recording media with a disabled webcam in the RCE causes an error message during the save process - Instructure Community…
Hi everyone, It looks like the multiple rubric idea has bounced around a bit with the different feature request methodologies over the years, including a mention in New & Next 2024 according to this post, interviews in the enhanced rubrics features group, being listed as "under consideration" on the new roadmap, and this…
We are using the Learning Mastery Gradebook with an rubric on account-level. When we enter the gradebook, the sorting does not make any sense. How can we make the sorting so it makes sense to us. It feels like a randam sorting.
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…
