Is it possible to turn off all replies in a discussion post? I would like to only allow students to read posts and like.
If I understand, you would like the students to be able to post an initial response on a discussion thread and like the initial responses, but not reply to any other posts?
I don't think this functionality exists in the native Canvas discussion platform. The only customization similar is to disable threaded replies, but it won't limit students to only one initial post. For that you may need a third party program that would allow you to moderate posts. Off the top of my head, you can use Padlet for that by allowing students to contribute to a board but you would moderate/approve the contributions.
Hello @SHELBYWEBB
Similar to what @DrNufer said, the discussions are specifically for students to post comments. You can disable replies, but to disable all posting of students would need to be changed at the admin level. If you want the ability to post yourself only, and have students see or like - you could consider posting announcements. You can comment on your own announcements below and students could also "allow liking" but disable them from commenting on the announcement. Besides that, you'd want to use something external i.e. linking to a Google Doc, etc. Hopefully this helps to clarify!
I would like this option, too. How do we make suggestions?
With the new SpeedGrader UI, we are seeing student names appear in the page title even when the “Hide student names” setting is enabled.

Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
This is my first time using the new discussion "checkpoints". I'm hoping the multiple due dates are effective, but using the "checkpoints" does seem to create other problems: They only allow for ONE "reply to topic". The way I use discussions in some of my classes is to allow for students to ask MULTIPLE questions per…
I tried the Quick Reassess feature today. Once I approved the questions and created the assessment it went to the tracker for Block 1. But I can't find the new assessment in my assessments to add to Blocks 2 & 4. If I have to recreate for each class, they won't have the same questions. I also cannot find the option to…
Hello, I’m wondering if Differentiation Tags can be configured as part of a Blueprint course. Our goal is to store differentiated content (pages, assessments, etc.) centrally within the Blueprint and have it already associated with specific Differentiation Tags (e.g. Support, Core, Extension). After the Blueprint is…
