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.

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.

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. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
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.
