how do I comment on the individual scores in speedgrader when using a rubric

[vhadams3]

I was able to had comments to the different parts of the rubric grade, and it actually retained the comments so I wouldn't have to write the same comment over and over. Some how when grading this assignment those options have disappeared from the viewer. Also, the scores entered into each section of the rubric aren't posting to the overall grade correctly...help!

Hello @vhadams3 

Thank you for contacting the Canvas Community. We're sorry to hear you've been experiencing issues with using rubrics for grading. As long as you set up the rubric correctly when you created the assignment (select the Use this rubric for assignment grading checkbox) you should be able to use the rubric solely for grading purposes. you also should be able to leave comments on the rubric. You can leave additional comments within the speedgrader on the right also. It is likely that box wasn't checked when you added it to the assignment and thus not using the filled rubric for grades. 

Here is the Canvas guide:

Like the original person said, I am using a rubric I built and labeled "free form comments" and "Use this for a grade". When I access the rubric ALL of my Rubric criteria comment banks are missing.

There are 3 sections to score on the rubric, and I ALWAYS work from the comment bank. If I make even a subtle change to the chosen "base" comment, I DO click save for that criteria comment. I should have about 10 comments to choose from for each criteria.

I teach this class twice a year, and I know 100% that I have a bank with a lot of comments to choose from for this assignment on this rubric.
