Use the Automatically Assign Peer Reviews option to an existing Canvas Assignment.

Updated on

When using this feature, Canvas will assign peer reviews to students automatically once they have submitted their own assignment.

  • When manually assigning peer reviews, students need to submit their own assignment first before being able to complete their assigned peer reviews.
  • If a student enrollment is deleted or becomes inactive, students will no longer be assigned to complete a peer review for the deleted or inactive enrollment. However, peer reviews already completed by the deleted/inactive enrollment will still display for students and instructors. If peer reviews have already been assigned, you may need to adjust assigned peer reviews.

1. In Course Navigation, click Assignments.

2. Locate and click on the assignment that you want to add Peer Reviewing to.
