You can receive feedback from your instructors or peers on submitted assignments. It can, for example, be a part of formative assessment. This can be in the form of a general comment, an audio file, or comments throughout the text. Feedback can also just be that the assignment is marked as Complete/Incomplete.

Where can I find feedback in Canvas?

You can view the feedback both from the Dashboard and from the particular assignment page.

Option 1

For the particular assignment. Click on Assignments in the course menu and open the assignment you wish to see feedback on. In some courses, the assignment can also be opened from Home and/or Modules.

Option 2

How to open written feedback?

General Comment

You can see this by clicking on View Feedback. The feedback will then be on the right side of the screen.
