How do I annotate a file as an assignment submission in the Student app on my iOS device?
Your instructor may upload a file for you to annotate as your assignment submission. You can annotate and submit a file as your assignment submission within the Student app.
The images in this lesson are shown for a phone display, but unless otherwise noted, tablet displays mirror the same steps.
Notes:
- If enabled in the browser version of Canvas, you will see celebration animations when you submit an on-time assignment in the Student app.
- If you need to edit your PDF annotations, tap the file link in the assignment description and submit the assignment again.
- Group assignments do not support the student annotation submission type.
