Hover your cursor over the blue highlighted areas, and the suggestion will pop up. Remember, it’s only a suggestion. You have to make the final decision.

If you close the report, you can make any changes right in Criterion. Or, keep the report AND your word processor open and make your changes in the word processor. If you do that, don’t forget to paste the new version of the paper back into Criterion eventually and click the Submit button again, which will trigger a new report and, hopefully, a higher rubric score.
