Inking in Assignments

Comments alongside an assignment are often inadequate and direct annotation on the document with inking would be preferable. At present it is only possible to ink on an assignment if clicking through several buttons and completing dual authentication to download file to desktop. Inking should be present on screen instantly within Teams with no need to select edit or download to desktop to edit. Inking is available in OneNote it should be available in all online apps!

    Adding an audio record/dictate button to the feedback box would also be really helpful, rather than just being able to write your feedback for those students who upload a picture of their work rather than use the class notebook.

    I would like this feature too! I think it can be doe if teachers use Class Notebook (I can ink on my iPad Pro). It would be great if I could markup assignments that student upload directly (these are usually in pdf format).

    This comment was made three years ago and we still can't do inking on TEAMS! Come on!

    Was working with moodle for a long time but the school switched to teams now. I am shocked that it's not possible to ink in the assignment! How am I supposed to do my job if I can't mark the mistakes? Do something microsoft! Quickly!

    Came here to find out how to do it - I didnt expect it to not even be a thing?! Wow come on Microsoft we really need this now!

    shocked this wasn't a feature, came here to check which button to click, not to find out it isn't a thing!

    This would be incredibly useful right now, adding comments just isn’t the same.

    Please add the option to 'mark' or 'draw' on a students submitted file. This is totally useless in a math class without this option

    Now even more than ever Microsoft please update with the option of writing on documents in Assignments

    It will be very helpful if Microsoft introduces a draw option in the assignments. This would enable the teachers to correct the work turned in by the students and return it.
    I can see that so many teachers have requested for the draw option but no action has been taken regarding it.
    It will be really beneficial. So please look into it ASAP.

    I can only agree.
    For Word, Excel, Powerpoint, OneNote documents there is a way around by opening off-line, provided the two versions are working together well. Unfortunately this function is not available for any jpg uploaded, which makes it quite a challenge or at least time consuming to correct.

    Apparently apple is offering the possibility to send it off to OneNote, do the correction work and uupload the corrected pic to the file. It would be great if you could add this feature with Microsoft Interface too.
