How do I allow students to comment on an announcement? I do not have the "allow students to comment" box to check when creating my announcement.
Hi @NicoleJames1,
If you don't see the option, that likely means your school/institution made the decision to disable the feature for the entire Canvas account/subaccount. You could definitely reach out to someone locally in the appropriate department (usually eLearning, IT support, or Digital Education) to see if they'd reconsider the decision or not.

We are using the Learning Mastery Gradebook with an rubric on account-level. When we enter the gradebook, the sorting does not make any sense. How can we make the sorting so it makes sense to us. It feels like a randam sorting.
Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies.
