Canvas - How do I view assignment feedback comments from my instructor using Crocodoc annotations?
On the assignment submission details page, some of your graded assignments may appear as file upload attachments that include a View Feedback button. Instead of leaving comments directly on the assignment, your instructor may choose to include comments directly in the assignment using annotations, on inline comments. These comments are made using Crocodoc, which you can also use to reply to a comment or make your own annotations.
Some browsers may not initially render comments correctly when viewing feedback. If your browser includes a built-in PDF viewer, select the option to view the PDF in the system viewer. you can also download PDF files with comments to view on your computer. To view downloaded PDF files, you must have Adobe Reader installed on your device. To print annotations, you must enable commenting as part of the PDF print options.
Note: If the assignment attachment displays a Preiew button instead of the View Feedback button, your file is not Crocodoc compatible and will not include any annotated comments.
