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!

It's a shame MS has not solved this issue yet even after 3 years of this query.

Still hoping this will be added soon. We're using teams a lot for student assignments, but the inability to annotate using a tablet severely hampers the usability and effectiveness of the platform, particularly when both Showbie and Google Classroom so this as standard. This could be the most useful feature in Teams to many teachers to give helpful and meaningful feedback to students on the work they have produced, rather than simply a cumbersome and clunky very small feedback box. Please add this one Microsoft.

We would love to see this feature enabling teachers to use their stylus to write comments/feedback on assignments. Currenly opening it into the Word app is too time consuming for teachers and also we are not able to upload a feedback document.

teams should provide inking facilities in files section of the respective channels. When the child uploads his file teacher should be able to correct it and save it without downloading

Yes , inking should be possible in channel files also. When the child uploads the notes, teacher should be able to correct it and save the file

I would like to write directly on students work to mark it in assignments. That work might be a photo, word, pdf.

Right now in order to mark pupils work digitally I have to download it, open it in another app, mark on it and email it back to the pupils. It would be more beneficial to have the ability to INK directly onto an assignment to mark it.

If students submit their assignment in word doc, you can hit three dots to the right of that document in assignments, select open in word, pen your corrections and save at end and automatically saves markings in assignments. If students have handwritten assignments I get them to take pic and add into a word doc and send. Saves an amount of time!

This option would greatly improve digital work in schools. I can't wait to use this feature!

I use a Microsoft Surface and I would like to use digital ink to add notes to the files my students upload within their tasks.

We have some units were learners are writing, pen and paper, particularly in Maths. They then take a photo of their work and without pasting on to a Word doc they just upload the jpeg. We then have no means of writing directly on that within the assignment submission slot in TEAMs. We have to screen snip , annotate then post back, leaving the original submission 'unmarked' . If we could have the ink function in there that would save hours, and keep all the work in one place. And save us having to go back to the learners and ask them to paste to word then upload....with 100+ students this too can be immensely time consuming.

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).

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!
