Comments Disappear with New Submission? AWFUL!

Why on earth would Canvas change this feature? The comments within the same assignment allowed me to see the conversation with my student, allowed me to see what I had already typed to them, and we could communicate this way. Now I have no idea what I wrote previously - I have to go up and click on as many submissions as they've made in order to see every single comment of both mine and theirs...before I realized this, I wrote the same comment to a kid 6 times!

Any workarounds?

Hello @afalbers,

Without disclosing the name(s) or grades, are you able to post a picture (or video) of what you are describing?

If you cannot do that, I would recommend that you contact your school's Canvas team or (if available for your schools Canvas license) Canvas Support directly.

My school did nog have an answer.Canvas can you help? Students resubmitted assignment assignments and my comments were gone. I've never had that happen before, but it's happening across multiple assignments.

Hi all, I'm looking to see if this has happened for anyone else. A student completed a Classic Quiz and one question was counted wrong that should not have been. In the quiz settings, the instructor entered 9 possible answers for this question. The student entered one of these answers. However, that particular question was…

Course Analytics not currently reporting all data ?
Has anyone found gaps in their course analytics ? I'm currently seeing missing last view date, last participation date, and participations at overall course level, even though the same data is present at individual week and student level. Am also seeing truncated asset counts ie we are seeing only the global header counts,…
Allow Observers to View Instructor Comments
It would be very beneficial for observers (parents) if they could view instructor comments. If they had access to this information, they could better understand the grading of individual assignments and better understand the errors that their student made.
