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?

The grade book displays mastery as met when it's only been achieved on one of the assignments. It's not showing positive or negative for the other assignments. (I've…
Yesterday, after much trial and error…I concluded the new quizzes matching choice options do not work as I expected, and have used with other LMS. I thought that I could provide students a matching choice quiz with multiple attempts that would report incorrectly answered matches on the first attempt, and display the…
I have seen documentation that says you must recopy your iCal link and resubscribe when you are enrolled in new classes, does this mean my iCal feed link changes each time, or do i just need to re-fetch the .ics file?
We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
