Introduction

What is a comment?

In the new grading tool, users can add three types of comments:

  • Annotation
    Digital equivalent of a marginal note. Can be posted / shared in channel.

  • Page note
    Associated comments and/or tags with a document (Question / Answer / Question Set) without anchoring that information to a passage within the document. Can be posted / shared in channel

  • Replies
    Refers to one of those other annotation types, or to a prior reply, and can include text and/or tags

  • Private Text Highlights 
    Digital equivalent of swiping a yellow marker over a passage of text. Can not be shared with any channel


Annotations are created by selecting text
