Annotation tool struggles

Nancy Kierstead · January 13

I believe there was an update that forced the Annotation tool for teachers to only open in Full Screen mode, and took away the annotation view that was available on the same page as the student assignment grading screen. Our teachers aren't thrilled. "This adds a step for each assignment as I have to click out of the redirected window to input the grade/comment." Are other school's struggling with this as well? Any chance we can get back the functionality we had before?

@Nancy Kierstead Hi Nancy! Thank you for posting. With any functionality request, I always recommend members post it to the ideas bank: Blackbaud K-12 Education Solutions™ Ideas - Blackbaud Community. It will require a unique login/password (not Blackbaud ID) to post, but if it is a functionality that others would like to vote on, they can and the product team will see the votes. Thanks!

@Crystal Bruce Hi! I'm happy to create an idea, but this is something that, according to the video linked in the help documentation, should still be in place. @Michael Morrissette Should we still be able to open documents in annotation view (as opposed to full screen) or should I call support?

Hi @Nancy Kierstead -

We're taking a look into this. Originally, we swapped the modal from the PSPDFKit version to one of our own to address some issues users were having while working on iPads. I believe we originally had the workflow largely the same, with the exception of the new tool bar.

More to come on this one.
