Use the in-line annotated feedback for documents by using the black toolbar at the top of the document.
Some features of in-line annotation include:
Zoom in/out by using the magnifying glasses icons with the -/+.

Pop-out rubric:
You have the option to pop-out the rubric by selecting the Expand icon at the end of the Grading Rubric line. Add the feedback by selecting the plus sign beneath each criterion.
Select Save and Close when you are done grading. If you try to close the window or navigate to another student, you will get a warning asking if you want to discard your changes.
How to check if students have viewed the feedback
