This extension used to work. I've tried downloading it on three different computers, and it doesn't work on any of them anymore. It's a great concept and I appreciated having it when it worked properly. Hopefully the developer can get it working again soon!

So, it's a good concept but there is little in the way of details on just how to best use the features. Usually this stuff is common sense, but in this case I'm not so sure. For example, how do leave my canned comments on the document itself? Putting everything in the comment section is a joke. Also, what the hell does "Enable Autofocus Gradebox" mean?

Grading is so much easier... I had it on one computer then came back into the schools and desperately missed this extension. Instantly downloaded it again!
