How do I reply to submission comments in the Inbox as an instructor?
Submission Comments allows users to view all comments sent and received from assignment submissions. You can reply to submission comments directly from Conversations.
You can also reply to comments directly from assignment submissions. You can evaluate assignments in SpeedGrader and leave feedback for your students, or you can make comments in the Gradebook.
Note: Submission comments only appear between a student and any user who has appropriate Gradebook and SpeedGrader editing and commenting permissions—most commonly an instructor, TA, or both.
