Update to Settings in Canvas Discussions
To Know: Canvas recently updated Discussions in August 2024 to include an option to disallow threaded replies. When enabled, students will not be able to reply to other students鈥 posts within a discussion.
This update may have affected some existing discussions due to differences in managing new and legacy discussions. As a result, Canvas may have automatically enabled the 鈥淒isallow Threaded Replies鈥 setting to preexisting discussions.
To Do: At this time, we recommend checking the discussion settings in your active courses and master course shells to verify that the 鈥淒isallow Threaded Replies鈥 option is not enabled for discussions where students need to reply to each other鈥檚 posts. See the听听for more information.
