Assignment Annotations

Assignment Annotations make it possible for teachers to leave several types of feedback on files that students submit with assignments. Files can be annotated in the browser without needing to print or download, and students are able to immediately view annotations added to their submitted files.

Check out the annotation tool in this video.

Before annotating, teachers must first allow file submissions for the assignments they want to annotate by enabling In-system Submission in the assignment settings. For more information on assignment settings, see Assignments .

Once students submit their files, teachers can view and annotate the submissions by going to Assignment Details, selecting a student, then selecting their file upload under Submitted files.

Warning: If a file was previously annotated with the old annotation tool (available before July 2022), opening the file in the new tool will remove the old annotations and they cannot be recovered. Teachers will need to recreate the annotations in the new tool.
