Assignment comments not showing on web interface (only)

I'm new to canvas, and just testing out speedgrader. I notice that on one assignment (but not another, oddly), comments on the attempt show up on my ipad but not on the web interface. They're there - I can download them - but I can't see them. What am I missing?

Thanks!

Hi KevinNickels!

This does seem odd and not the expected outcome. The good news, you have gathered all of the required information to report the problem to Canvas Support. You will want to connect with your Canvas administration team to have a case created or you can use the "Report a Problem" link in your instance navigation under the "Help" icon. If this option is not available to you, you will want to contact the designated Canvas administrator at your institution.

I hope this helps, and thanks for using the community for assistance!

Is there an actual solution yet?

I had the same issue. The reason why this happened was this is a group assignment and you set the grades to be sent to the whole group not individually.

Solution: go to the assignment page> click on edit> under group assignment, there's a check box where you have to click on that says "assign grades to each student individually". That will make your comments appear again.

Hope it helps, it's a weird issue though.

Group Assignment comments are indeed there even when assigning one grade to the entire group, but you need to click on the link towards the bottom labeled "Download Submission Comments" to see those. I have no idea why Canvas does not fix this to show assignment comments for all group assignments just like individual assignments.

Monitoring API Activity (in test)
We are testing a third party integration from our college's ERP provider. We have connected it to our test environment. It seems to have very few features and options. So, just wondering if there is a way to monitor API calls. I was able to use the DAPClient in Python to download canvas_logs in our production environment.…
Feature Request: Global Setting for "Display Text Link" as Default for Image Uploads
To the Canvas Product Team, I am writing to request a new global or course-level setting for the Rich Content Editor (RCE). Currently, when images are uploaded or embedded, Canvas defaults to displaying the full image. For many lab-based and data-heavy courses—such as my current molecular biology lab course—we often need…

How do you set up Learning Outcomes for a Multi-Section Course?
I am trying to use Learning Outcomes for my course which has many sections each term. We currently have no institutional, school or program outcomes. I created a set of outcomes for Section 1 of my course. I then labelled every question in the item banks I was using in my first quiz (New Quiz) of the semester. I got a nice…
