Canvas updates in New Quizzes and Assignments
Canvas has announced an update regarding a new type of assignment with student annotation and a new button in New Quizzes.
Student annotation as assignment
Teachers can use a new type of assignment, where the teacher can upload a file that students can comment on with annotations and then submit directly to Canvas.
This change allows teachers to provide a file as an assignment and allow students to comment on the file directly in Canvas. Prior to this function, students had to either print the file and take a picture to submit or use a third-party tool to complete the submission.
Canvas explains the new function in the video below.

New button in New Quizzes
When the outer settings in New Quizzes, the assignment settings, are created or edited, there is a new button next to the buttons to save: "Build".
This change adjusts the behaviour of the Save button so that it saves and closes the quiz, while the new button named "Build" goes to the "build" view in the quiz engine, where questions are created and edited for the quiz.
Canvas explains the new function in the video below.
