How to edit instructor comments in Speedgrader?

Is it possible to edit instructor comments once submitted in Speedgrader? Previously, I could do this by going into the Gradebook and there was a pencil icon to edit the comment. Now, I only see a trashcan icon to delete the comment.

When a small error is made in the comments, it would be really nice to be able to edit and re-save, rather than having to delete and re-post the comment. Is there a way to do this now?

Thanks!

Hi,

Currently, in Canvas SpeedGrader, instructor comments cannot be edited once they’ve been submitted. In the past, you may have been able to edit through the Gradebook’s pencil icon, but the interface has changed — now, the only option is to delete the existing comment (trash can icon) and re-enter the corrected version.

If the ability to edit comments would be valuable for your workflow, I recommend submitting it as a feature idea through the Canvas Community so it can be reviewed for future updates.

Thanks!

Hi Jose,

Thank you for your reply! Yes, I do think the edit feature would be helpful. Sometimes, we need to make a small correction and it's a lot easier to edit rather than deleting and reposting. I'll submit this as a feature idea.
