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?

We have several high school teachers who use total points with weight and adjust their weights midyear. Our courses are set up as a single…
Hello, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Moises (Moses). I am excited to start at UW's Cybersecurity Risk Management course. I opted to take this course after an interview I had, where the pre-interview questions were specific to Risk Management Framework knowledge.
I'm not sure that this is the right place to post about this, but I was wondering if anyone has a fix for how the scroll bar for the entire page covers the scroll bar for just a document viewed in Canvas. The scroll bar for a document will stay visible until one attempts to interact with it, at which point the bar for the…
Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
After using Canvas for a while, I picked up a small habit that’s saved me some last-minute stress with written submissions. Even when drafts are original, longer explanations and summaries tend to reuse common phrasing, especially in research-heavy assignments. Before submitting, I usually do a quick cleanup pass to reduce…
