@paularcurtis @hypothes_is Hi @paularcurtis - Unfortunately the title is taken from the document's metadata and is set at the moment someone first annotates the document. There's no way at this time to edit the document title, but I'll make sure to pass the feature request along to the team.

@aaronmaureredu @hypothes_is @OpenAI Hi @aaronmaureredu - Thanks for writing! We don’t see Public annotations over https://t.co/iKFMHSYqEw, but maybe other folks will reach out if they’ve created private annotations they’d like to share with you!
If you have questions about creating your own annotations reach out!

@jgeller_phd @quarto_pub @hypothes_is You're welcome!

@jgeller_phd @quarto_pub @hypothes_is Based on the netlify app URL are you at Princeton? Note that the LMS app and the web app are two separate apps. Annotations in one don't appear in the other. 2/2

@jgeller_phd @quarto_pub @hypothes_is *If* you have Hypothesis available to you in your Canvas instance you can try using these instructions to create an Assignment (https://t.co/32VN4M6Hww) or in a Module (https://t.co/p3OguRB1p5). 1/2

@jgeller_phd @quarto_pub @hypothes_is Hypothesis has an LMS app which will allow you to easily embed our tool over PDFs without having to build or install anything beyond making the app available in your LMS course. I hope this helps! 6/6

@jgeller_phd @quarto_pub @hypothes_is Thank you! The first link is to an html document, so as you noted you could use our embed instructions (https://t.co/gVx0xUIfrF) to insert Hypothesis directly into the page. 1/6

@jgeller_phd @quarto_pub @hypothes_is Individual users can activate Hypothesis over the directly-linked PDF using the Hypothesis Chrome extension (https://t.co/IFTw2awx9f, will work in any Chromium browser)… 4/6

@jgeller_phd @quarto_pub @hypothes_is Hypothesis embedded here: https://t.co/bSrBPMEML4. We also recommend publishing a link to the PDF through our proxy server, Via (https://t.co/CvLyIbuVoY). Currently the netlify site doesn't work in Via, but we'll get it set up by Friday. 3/6

@jgeller_phd @quarto_pub @hypothes_is The second link goes directly to a PDF, so there's no HTML in which you can insert Hypothesis. If you were to create an html page and embed the PDF into it that would likely work. We have an example of hosting a PDF viewer on an existing site with… 2/6

@MicrosoftFlip @hypothes_is Will do, and thank you! <3

@MicrosoftFlip Wondering if there’s been a change to you allowing video embeds. Flips used to be embeddable in @hypothes_is annotations and seem to no longer do so. We're trying to diagnose. Any info is appreciated! Did you change the need for an iframe or something else?

@davidwacks @hypothes_is "Page Notes" feature to start new top-level annotations, treating each of those like a new discussion thread, and just ask students to reply to those Page Notes in the same way they'd reply to a discussion post? I'm not super-familiar with Canvas' Discussions feature. 2/2

[Help from Hypothesis @HypothesisHelp]

@davidwacks @hypothes_is Unfortunately any URLs put into the LMS app need to be publicly accessible, and anything inside the LMS isn't going to be (or, even if you *could* make it public, you likely don't want to).

Maybe you could assign a very minimal PDF that directs students to use the 1/2

@elotroalex @hypothes_is equivalence: https://t.co/cezcdEo0mV. I'm writing this up for our team to look at. For now I'd use the bookmarklet or the chrome extension on this site.

[Help from Hypothesis @HypothesisHelp]

@elotroalex @hypothes_is Ok, so it's not an issue with Via over Github. The team let me know that this is Github pages and we don't expect to see cross-site issues here. But there's something odd with a canonical URL on the site which is interacting with how we do something called document 1/2
