If a submission includes a file that can be rendered in DocViewer, but the submission preview is not yet complete, Canvas will generate a message stating the document is still processing. If your browser includes a built-in PDF viewer, select the option to view the PDF in the system viewer.Ī student can view your DocViewer comments from the assignment Submissions Details page. You can restart a DocViewer session at any time by refreshing the submission page. Canvas will display a session expiration warning at 9 hours 50 minutes, followed by a 5-minute and 1-minute warning until the 10-hour limit has been reached. Submitted annotations are saved and are not affected by the session limit.
If you start to make an annotation but do not submit it before the session expires, the annotation will not be saved. You can view when students view annotated feedback in the assignment details section of the sidebar.ĭocViewer has a 10-hour session limit that begins when you open a submission. You can use DocViewer to view files and assignments in SpeedGrader. It now made all sense why the mode was behaving as it was.įortunately, we can disable the mode and allow annotations and other tools besides the mouse pointer.Canvas DocViewer is a tool that allows annotations on online assignment submissions in Canvas. Later on I decided to check the Preferences and that’s where I encountered something rather surprising: the full screen mode defaults to a Presentation Mode (à la PowerPoint).
It effectively meant I couldn’t select or highlight text, make notes or do other annotations which forced me to switch back to the window mode. The first time I encountered this behaviour I was quite irritated as I would imagine most people would.
Furthermore, the context menu doesn’t appear when you right-click instead it moves the document to the previous page while a left-click takes it to the next page. There are no tools in this mode, only the mouse pointer. You may however have noticed that once you activate the full screen mode it’s impossible to do any kind of annotations let alone select text. The mode can be activated easily using the F11 keyboard shortcut or the button next to the window control buttons (minimize). PDF-XChange Editor like most readers includes a full screen mode that offers a distraction-free reading experience.
