How do I add DocViewer annotations in the T

Teacher
eacher app on m

vice?

When viewing assignment submissions, you may be able to add annotated comments in the submission. Canvas
DocViewer is a tool that allows annotations in online assignment submissions. Annotations made in Canvas Teacher sync
with SpeedGrader in the web version of Canvas.

If a student submits a file that is not compatible with DocViewer, the document previewer will still display the file, but
DocViewer markup and commenting will not be available.

When you open a submission, DocViewer will automatically save any annotations made to the submission file for one hour.
You can restart a DocViewer session at any time by refreshing the submission page.

The images in this lesson are shown for a phone display, but unless otherwise noted, tablet displays mirror the same steps.

Notes
Notes:

• Files over 100 MB and password-protected files will not be converted by DocViewer.
• SpeedGrader may take up to ten minutes after an assignment is submitted to display a document that supports
DocViewer.

Students cannot access the Attendance tool; only instructors have the ability to take attendance. However, students can
see the Attendance assignment in the Assignments page and view their attendance report as part of the Roll Call
Attendance submission details page. If you are using attendance for grading, students can also view their attendance grade
