Hello allI am converting myself to Google Suite, but often find it can come up short. Come on Google, you are intelligent folks!

Is there any way that I can open a Google Doc from one of my students and use a tablet or my Mac trackpad (I'm an Apple person) and annotate with a stylus? I'd love to be able to circle words or phrases and then handwrite a comment, be able to send it back to the student where they can read all of this.

Thanks!

Thanks, but I'm not sure this does what I need. I'd love to open a Google Doc that a student sent to me, and then use my tablet and a stylus to annotate the Google Doc, without it changing into a PDF, and then return it to the student as a Google Doc. I don't think I can do this yet. But would love to know if it can be done!

Select "drawing" from the "insert" menu from within a Google Doc. Select "scribble" from the "line tool" pulldown menu. If your device has a touchscreen, bubble shooter you can use a stylus (or your finger) to write anything you want in your own handwriting.
